简要总结
The objective is to evaluate in adult patients with chronic kidney disease the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in the upper limbs associated with a cycle ergometer in the lower limbs, during hemodialysis, on functional capacity and peripheral muscle strength.
The hypothesis is that in people with chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis, the addition of neuromuscular electrical stimulation in the upper limbs associated with aerobic training of the lower limbs is superior to aerobic exercise alone in improving functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, quality of life, safety intervention and patient adherence.
详细描述
Objective
To evaluate, in adult patients with chronic kidney disease, the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in the upper limbs associated with a cycle ergometer in the lower limbs, during hemodialysis, on functional capacity and peripheral muscle strength.
Methods. This is a controlled, randomized, double-blind, intention-to-treat clinical trial carried out at the Cassiano Antônio Moraes University Hospital (HUCAM). Thirty individuals who will be randomly allocated to an intervention group (ie active NMES on upper limbs for 20 minutes and aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer for 30 minutes) or a control group (ie NMES-Sham on upper limbs for 20 minutes and aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer for 30 minutes). The treatment will be carried out for 8 weeks, with 3 weekly sessions totaling 24 sessions. Outcome measures will be collected by trained researchers before treatment (week 0) and at the end of treatment (week 9), always in the second hemodialysis session of the week. Functional capacity, peripheral muscle strength, activity level of daily living, quality of life, intervention safety, patient compliance, hemodialysis filtration rate (KT/V) and renal function (potassium, phosphate and magnesium clearance) will be evaluated.
Impact. This study could potentially provide important information and assist in clinical decision making regarding the combined use of NMES with a cycle ergometer to optimize the clinical benefits of therapeutic exercise in patients with chronic kidney disease.

盲法说明
This is a double-blind study, where evaluators and participants will not be aware of the details of the research. All outcomes will be measured by blinded raters as they will not be involved in the randomization process and will not receive details about interventions. All participants will be blinded as to whether or not the NMES will be performed, as both the intervention group and the control group will have the electrodes positioned and will remain there for the same time.

结局指标
主要结局
Improved Functional Capacity
时间窗: Baseline, pre-intervention/immediately after intervention.
It will be evaluated by the one-minute sit-and-stand test. Patients will be instructed to sit and stand up in a chair as quickly as possible for 1 minute, starting from the sitting position, with their feet on the floor, arms crossed on the chest and back supported on the chair, in addition, they will not receive any type of incentive verbal during the test. The number of repetitions will be recorded, and if the participant is standing at the end of 1 minute, 0.5 repetition will be considered.
Improved Peripheral muscle strength
时间窗: Baseline, pre-intervention/immediately after intervention.
It will be evaluated through the handgrip strength being measured using a manual digital dynamometer (Instruthern®, São Paulo, Brazil). The test will be performed three times on each upper limb (right and left), with 1-minute intervals between each execution, the measure with the highest value being considered.
次要结局
- Improved Cardiorespiratory capacity(Baseline, pre-intervention/immediately after intervention.)
- Improved Capacity of life.(Baseline, pre-intervention/immediately after intervention.)
