Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Nov 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to find out if exercise can help reduce low back pain and improve quality of life in people receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a structured exercise program lower low back pain in PD participants? Does exercise improve their health-related quality of life? Researchers will compare a group of participants who do regular exercises with a group who receive usual care, to see if the exercises make a difference. Participants will: Join a home-based exercise program designed for people on PD. Follow the program for a specific period while continuing their dialysis treatment. Complete assessments on their pain and quality of life before and after the intervention.
