Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study carried out in the HD unit of a large-scale training and research hospital, and at a dialysis center associated with this hospital located in Ankara, Turkey. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms.

Arm 1: Intervention group Arm 2: Control group Hypothesis 1. The HD patients in the 8-week intervention of BRT combined with music therapy will report lower fatigue scores than those in the control group.

Clinical Trial Description

Patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment are susceptible to many complications. The inadequate stress-coping strategies render them vulnerable to high symptom burden and impaired quality of life. Patients are given conventional treatments to stop or slow down the progress of nephron destruction and prevent complications associated with uremia. However, previous studies observed that these therapies may be limited in alleviating fatigue, anxiety, and symptoms of depression, and may pose severe side effects. Therefore, in recent years patients have shown enhanced tendency to use complementary and integrative approaches including aromatherapy, acupuncture, massage, music, and relaxation to provide better control on their health and treatment process, feeling better physically, and emotionally, and as well as improve quality of life. The present study investigates the effects of Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy in two-centered, 2-arm, assessor blinded randomized, controlled study of 61 hemodialysis patients.

Arm 1: Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy ; Arm 2: control. The investigators hypothesize that Benson relaxation technique combined with music therapy will decrease severity of fatigue, anxiety, and depression. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
