Magnetic Stimulation to Reduce Low Back Pain and Maintain Muscle in Adults with End-Stage Renal Disease Receiving Dialysis

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effect of magnetic stimulation on reducing low back pain and preserving muscle mass in adults with end-stage renal disease who are undergoing frequent dialysis. The study focuses on patients experiencing significant back pain, aiming to assess how this device-based intervention may help alleviate discomfort and maintain physical function. Participants will receive magnetic stimulation treatments targeting back pain to see how this affects their symptoms and muscle condition. The study measures outcomes using pain scales, physical performance tests, quality of life questionnaires, motion analysis, and bone density scans conducted before treatment, one day after, and one month later. During the study, participants will undergo assessments including the Visual Analogue Scale for pain, the Short Physical Performance Battery, the WHO Quality of Life survey, 3D motion capture, and DEXA scans at three different time points. The study will monitor back pain intensity and muscle mass changes over time, with total participation spanning from before intervention through one month post-treatment.
