Exercise Training in Dialysis Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Uremic etiology Restless legs syndrome (RLS) has been associated with poorer quality of life (QoL) compared to RLS-free counterparts mainly due to sleep deprivation factors. Exercise training in hemodialysis (HD) patients with RLS has been proven to be a safe approach in temporally ameliorating RLS symptoms similarly to the use of pharmacological treatment with dopamine agonists. However it not known whether the exercise anabolic stimulus and the dopamine agonist treatment could act synergistically for the improvement of physical functioning and muscle performance as well as in the amelioration of augmentation symptoms in hemodialysis patients with RLS.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the acute and long term (6 months) effect of exercise training in combination with dopamine agonists in quality of life, muscle function, sleep quality and metabolism in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) receiving dialysis therapy.

Objectives - Aims:

1. To investigate whether a single bout of intradialytic exercise session could have an effect in motor restlessness often seen during hemodialysis session in patients with RLS

2. To investigate whether a 24 weeks therapy with dopamine agonist or placebo will have an effect in sleep quality, functional capacity and metabolic profile of the hemodialysis patients with RLS

3. To examine whether dopamine agonists or placebo and aerobic intradialytic exercise act synergistically for the improvement of physical functioning and muscle performance as well as it could reduce the signs of augmentation in hemodialysis patients with RLS ;

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.
