About this study

Official title: National Taiwan University Hospital

Arm vein intermittently gripping arm movements, can promote the increased diameter of arteriovenous fistula, which enhance the maturity of fistula, the effect of lack of empirical research. Objective: this study, randomized controlled study, investigate systematic random arm vein pressure and arm movements to arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients improve the maturity rate and effectiveness of the diameter. Methods: a prospective comparative study randomly assigned.

Read the detailed description

the effect size is the diameter of arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients with treatments or not is the key to smoothly. Arm vein intermittently gripping arm movements, can promote the increased diameter of arteriovenous fistula, which enhance the maturity of fistula, the effect of lack of empirical research. Objective: this study, randomized controlled study, investigate systematic random arm vein pressure and arm movements to arteriovenous fistula in hemodialysis patients improve the maturity rate and effectiveness of the diameter. Methods: a prospective comparative study randomly assigned. This study plan for each patient has received a wrist artery and vein access tracks before and after 3 months of operation, according to randomly divided into three groups, the first group of patients after accepted guidance for systematic and intermittent arm movements; the second group of patients receiving the guidance system of intermittent arm vein compression and arm movements; a third group as a control group. Discussion: the plan is expected to include 150 patients, receive instruction after the randomly with/without systemic venous pressure, with/without systemic movement. The plan design under the patient safety assessment of the effectiveness of these two activities the primary end point and secondary end points. This study offers clinicians advise patients, how to effectively improve the patients ' arteriovenous access matured speed and diameter.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The diameter of each passage of the passage vein (forearm head vein) of the arterial and venous access within three months

    Comparison of the various methods to achieve within three months the checkpoint path diameter increase rate (two time points measurement difference).

    Measured: Postoperative Three months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Systematically intermittent arm exercise in people with Systematically Intermittent Arm Exercise for Improving Maturation of Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Shunt, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The diameter of each passage of the passage vein (forearm head vein) of the arterial and venous access within three months (time frame: Postoperative Three months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03077815, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Jun 2022.
