In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of two different timings of physical therapy for individuals undergoing hemodialysis: intradialytic (during dialysis) and pre-dialysis (before dialysis). The study seeks to determine which approach provides better improvements in physical function, quality of life, and biochemical outcomes such as hemoglobin and electrolyte levels. A total of 72 adult participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups will receive standardized educational sessions on the benefits and safety of exercise before beginning the intervention. Participants in the intradialytic group will perform supervised exercises during their dialysis sessions, while those in the pre-dialysis group will complete similar exercises before their dialysis sessions.
