Evaluating the effectiveness of intradialytic yoga for fatigue in patients with end stage kidney disease receiving haemodialysis: A mixed methods approach.
  • Description

    This study will be a two-group parallel design randomised controlled trial (RCT). The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of practicing yoga during haemodialysis (HD) (i.e. intradialytic yoga) for improving fatigue, physiological and psychological health outcomes in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving treatment in hospital or satellite dialysis facility settings. We hypothesise that patients with ESKD who practice intradialytic yoga for 3 sessions per week over a 12-week period will experience a 23% reduction in symptoms of fatigue by the end of the RCT period compared with usual care alone. We also hypothesise that intradialytic yoga will be associated with: reduced symptoms of post dialysis fatigue; improved quality of life; improved patient engagement in dialysis therapy plans including self care, self-management and adherence; and changes in biochemistry.

    This data relates to clinical trial ACTRN12617000420347 Evaluating the effectiveness of practicing yoga during haemodialysis for fatigue in patients with end stage kidney disease.
