Aerobic Exercise Improves Signs of Restless Leg Syndrome in End Stage Renal Disease Patients Suffering Chronic Hemodialysis
Background. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is one of the prevalent complaints of patients with end stage renal diseases suffering chronic hemodialysis. Although there are some known pharmacological managements for this syndrome, the adverse effect of drugs causes a limitation for u...

| description | Background. Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is one of the prevalent complaints of
patients with end stage renal diseases suffering chronic hemodialysis. Although there are some
known pharmacological managements for this syndrome, the adverse effect of drugs causes a
limitation for using them. In this randomized clinical trial we aimed to find a nonpharmacological
way to improve signs of restless leg syndrome and patients’ quality of life.
Material and Methods. Twenty-six patients were included in the
study and divided into 2 groups of control and exercise. The exercise group used
aerobic exercise during their hemodialysis for 16 weeks. The quality of life and severity
of restless leg syndrome were assessed at the first week of study and final week. Data
were analyzed using SPSS software. Results. The difference of means of
RLS signs at the first week of study and final week was in exercise group and in control group. There was not any statistical difference between control group
and exercise group in quality of life at the first week of study and final week. Conclusions. We
suggest using aerobic exercise for improving signs of restless leg syndrome, but no evidence was found for its efficacy on patient’s quality of life. |
