Adding Receptive Music to Intradialytic Resistance Exercise in Adults Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis
Adding Receptive Music to Intradialytic Resistance Exercise: Effects on Physical Function in People Receiving Maintenance Haemodialysis
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 14 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
People receiving maintenance hemodialysis commonly experience reduced physical function and exercise capacity. Intradialytic resistance exercise may help preserve or improve physical function, while receptive music listening may provide additional benefits when combined with exercise. This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether adding receptive music listening to a supervised intradialytic resistance exercise program improved physical function compared with the same exercise program without music and with usual care. Forty-seven adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis were allocated to one of three groups: resistance exercise combined with receptive music listening, resistance exercise alone, or usual care. The intervention lasted 8 weeks and included 24 planned exercise sessions for participants assigned to the exercise groups. The primary outcome was lower-limb functional performance assessed using the 60-second sit-to-stand test. Secondary outcomes included dialysis adequacy, blood pressure, health-related quality of life, intervention adherence, and adverse events.
