Abstract
Background and objectives
Hemodialysis is a life-saving treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Dialysis patients have a variety of physical and psychological side effects that significantly lower their quality of life. Yoga demonstrated to significantly improve Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients' physical and psychological symptoms. The current study evaluates the impact of Yoga on the renal, cardiac, and psychological health of hemodialysis-dependent individuals with CKD.
Methods and analysis
Eighty ESRD patients with CKD stage-5 undergoing dialysis will be recruited for the study. 40 people in each group will be randomly assigned to the yoga and wait-list control groups. A modified sixty-minute yoga program will be given to the yoga group as an intervention in addition to the standard treatments (medication and hemodialysis). The wait-list control group's standard treatments will continue. Data will be collected at baseline, the end of the first month, the third month, and six months. The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is the primary variable. Secondary variables include renal function tests, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein, and subjective variables obtained through questionnaires (pain, depression, anxiety, fatigue, symptom score, sleep quality, and Quality of Life). Data will be analyzed with appropriate statistical tests after normality checks. The current study results could underscore the need for a patient-centered, holistic approach in hospital care that takes into account individual health dimensions.
Ethics and dissemination
The study is approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee of S-VYASA Deemed to be University. Voluntary participation and a written consent form will be obtained prior to the inclusion of participants. The findings of the study will be disseminated through research articles and conferences.
Trial registration number
CTRI/2021/11/038244 at Clinical Trial Registry of India.
