Mindfulness Meditation Combined With Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training for Uremic Sarcopenia

To study the effect of mindfulness meditation combined with progressive muscle relaxation training on clinical efficacy and quality of life in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients with sarcopenia. Eligible sarcopenic patients in our hospital were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 24) and an intervention group (n = 25). The control group received conventional dialysis treatment, while the intervention group received mindfulness meditation combined with progressive muscle relaxation training during the interdialysis period in addition to conventional dialysis treatment. The effect of the intervention was evaluated after 12 weeks.To observe whether the combined intervention training can improve the motor ability and quality of life of patients with sarcopenia in a short period of time.

  • Stable condition and generally good health status
  • Good compliance and ability to collaborate well with the physician
  • Undergoing hemodialysis three times per week for at least three months, with a KT/V ≥ 1.2

Treatment and study plan

The mindfulness meditation combined with progressive muscle relaxation training .

Behavioral

The first part is progressive muscle relaxation training. The second part is mindfulness meditation training.

Primary outcomes

  1. 10 sit-to-stand test in seconds

    Time frame: 3 months

    The 10 sit-stand test represents exercise ability, and the shorter the time, the greater the exercise ability.

  2. Grip strength in kilograms

    Time frame: 3 months

    Grip strength represents exercise ability, and the larger it is, the more exercise ability it is.Its minimum value is zero, and its maximum value is unlimited.

  3. 6-meter walk test in metre per second

    Time frame: 3 months

    6-meter walk test represents exercise ability, and the larger it is, the more exercise ability it is.Its minimum value is zero metre per second, and its maximum value is unlimited.

  4. KDQOLTM(Kidney Disease Quality of Life short Form) score

    Time frame: 3 months

    The KDQOLTM score is between 0 and 100, and the higher the score, the better the health

  5. interleukin-6 (IL-6)

    Time frame: 3 months

    Interleukin 6 represents an inflammatory marker, and its concentration is 20pg/ml or less.

  6. high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)

    Time frame: 3 months

    hsCRP represents an inflammatory marker, and its concentration ranges from 0.0 to 10mg/L.

  7. albumin(ALB)

    Time frame: 3 months

    Albumin represents a nutritional indicator, and its concentration ranges from 40 to 55g/L.

  8. prealbumin (PA)

    Time frame: 3 months

    Prealbumin represents a nutritional indicator, and its concentration ranges from 0.20 to 0.43g/l.
