Official title
Effect of an Intradialytic Physical Exercise Programme Supplemented With Creatine Monohydrate on Body Composition, Biochemical Parameters and Functionality in Patients With Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease Undergoing Haemodialysis: Phase II Double-blind Randomised Clinical Trial.
Overview
This study aims to evaluate the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation and an intradialytic exercise program on body composition, biochemical parameters, and functional capacity in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The study will compare the independent and combined effects of these interventions over an 8-week period to determine their potential benefits in this patient population.
Detailed description
A double-blind, randomized clinical trial will be conducted in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. The study will evaluate the effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation and an intradialytic exercise program on body composition, biochemical parameters, and functional capacity.
Participants will be allocated to one of four study groups: (1) standard hemodialysis care, (2) creatine monohydrate supplementation, (3) intradialytic exercise, and (4) creatine monohydrate supplementation combined with intradialytic exercise. The intervention period will last 8 weeks.
Body composition, biochemical parameters, and functional capacity will be assessed at baseline and after completion of the intervention period. Comparisons among study groups will be performed to determine the independent and combined effects of creatine monohydrate supplementation and intradialytic exercise.
The study is designed to generate evidence regarding the potential clinical benefits of incorporating structured exercise programs and creatine supplementation into the routine management of patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis. Findings may contribute to the development of strategies aimed at improving physical function, nutritional status, and overall health outcomes in this population.
Interventions
- Drug Group A with creatine monohydrate
Participants will receive 5 g of creatine monohydrate diluted in 100 mL of water daily for 8 weeks. On hemodialysis days, supplementation will be administered immediately after the dialysis session. On non-dialysis days, supplementation will be administered after a meal. - Other Group B placebo
Participants will receive 5 g of placebo diluted in 100 mL of water daily for 8 weeks. On hemodialysis days, placebo will be administered immediately after the dialysis session. On non-dialysis days, placebo will be administered after a meal. - Behavioral Group C Intradialytic Exercise Program
Participants will perform a supervised intradialytic exercise program during hemodialysis sessions for 8 weeks. The program will include aerobic and resistance exercises performed three times per week according to the study protocol. - Procedure Comparison group D Hemodialysis
Participants will continue receiving their prescribed maintenance hemodialysis treatment according to the standard clinical procedures of the dialysis center.
Primary outcome measures
- Grasping muscle strength [Time frame: From baseline assessments through the end of the 8-week intervention]
