Study summary

adolescents with chronic renal failure going on hemodialysis usually complain many problems including compromised ventilation, early fatigue, early physical intolerance, and bad life quality. incentive spirometer is highly recommended to improve these problems. also, walking program, especially walking with dog, can increase the benefits of incentive spirometer

Read the detailed description

End stage renal diseased adolescents (numbering forty) will be grouped randomly to two random groups, twenty adolescents in group I or group II. Both groups will trained by incentive spirometer 30 min during the sessions of dialysis three applications weekly for 12 weeks. Group I will additionally walked freely with a dog 30 min three times weekly (in opposite days of hemodialysis). The duration of this trial will be 12 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. six minute walk testing

    it is a physical capacity measure

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. forced vital capacity

    it is a pulmonary function test

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  2. forced expiratory volume at first second

    it is a pulmonary function test

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  3. maximal inspiratory pressure

    it is a test measures strength of inspiratory muscles

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  4. child health questionnaire (physical summary)

    the parent form (50 questions) will used to measure quality of life

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  5. child health questionnaire (mental summary)

    the parent form (50 questions) will used to measure quality of life

    Time frame: it will be measured after 12 weeks

  6. fatigue symptoms inventory

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2025, 3 months after the start.

Of 347 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Kidney Failure, Chronic, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 47. This study's planned 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 425 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 8 and three quarters within 46.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 6, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
