Summary

goal of this interventional study to investigate the effect of autogenic training on sleep disturbance , restless leg syndrome and fatigue on hemodialysis patient Is there any significant effect of autogenic training on restless leg syndrome, sleep disturbance and fatigue in patients with hemodialysis?

The intervention will include structured autogenic training sessions, and outcomes such as sleep quality and RLS severity and fatigue will be evaluated after 8 weeks of autogenic training on hemodialysis patients .

Conditions

  • Hemodialysis Patient
  • Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS)
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep Disturbance

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Autogenic training

The Autogenic Training Program is a standardized mind-body relaxation technique that uses self-induced verbal formulas and passive concentration to promote autonomic regulation. The intervention includes guided sessions with 6 main exercises , The first exercise aims to relax muscles by repeating a verbal formula, "my right arm is heavy," emphasising heaviness. then feeling warm, initiated by the instruction ''my right arm is warm'', followed by cardiac activity using the formula ''my heartbeat is calm and regular''. Then follows passive concentration on the respiratory mechanism with the formula ''it breathes me'', then on warmth around the abdominal region with ''my solar plexus is warm'' and finally on coolness in the cranial region with ''my forehead is cool and clear'' . Participants will receive supervised training sessions followed by home practice instructions to enhance relaxation response and reduce physiological stress. in addition to conventional physiotherapy program

OTHER

conventional physical therapy and hemodialysis care

control group will receive a conventional physiotherapy program that includes stretching exercises, strengthening exercises, range-of-motion training, and standard therapeutic procedures routinely used for patients with similar conditions. The sessions will follow a structured protocol delivered by a physiotherapist, without including any relaxation or autogenic training components.
