Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intradialytic resistance exercise intervention works to reduce the symptom burden in older maintenance hemodialysis patients. It will also learn about safety of the intradialytic resistance exercise intervention program. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does intradialytic resistance exercise effectively improve the number, frequency, and severity of symptoms in older patients?
- What adverse events may occur among older dialysis patients during exercise?
Researchers will compare older dialysis patients who undergo the intradialytic resistance exercise intervention with those receiving standard care to observe whether resistance exercise can improve symptom burden.
Participants will:
- Take an intradialytic resistance exercise intervention program developed through joint decision-making by rehabilitation experts, dialysis center physicians, nurses, and patients, conducted three times a week for 20 minutes each session, over a duration of three months.
- Visit the hospital a monthly for texts and examinations.
- Keep a diary of the types and frequency of adverse events during and after the exercise sessions.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Dialysis Symptom Index
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks
Kidney failure-related symptoms were assessed every month using the dialysis symptom index (DSI), a previously validated questionnaire Through this questionnaire, patients indicated the presence of 30 symptoms in the past month, resulting in a total sum score for symptom number ranging from 0 to 30. Additionally, for each symptom present, patients rated symptom burden on a five-point Likert scale, ranging from one for "not at all" to five for "very much" burdensome. Absent symptoms were assigned a score of zero, resulting in an overall symptom burden score ranging from zero to 150, with higher scores indicating larger burden.
Secondary Outcomes
- 30 Seconds Sit To Stand Test(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks)
- Short Physical Performance Battery(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks)
- Number of participants with abnormal laboratory tests results(From enrollment to the end of treatment at 12 weeks)
