Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison the effect of cool dialysate and stretching exercises on restless leg syndrome in patients undergoing hemodialysis with chronic renal failure
Design
Sixty patients with restless leg syndrome are randomly assigned into two groups of cold-dialysis solution and stretching exercises. A study is a double-blind clinical trial with parallel groups.
Settings and conduct
This study will be performed on 30 patients in the experimental group and 30 patients in the control group in the dialysis section at Sabzevar Hospital who have inclusion criteria and will randomly be divided into two groups. In this study , researcher and data analyst will be blinded. For 6 weeks, the experimental group is dialyzed at 35.5 ° C and the control group performs stretching exercises. The restless leg syndrome in both groups will be evaluated with the International restless leg syndrome questionnaire before intervention and at the end of each week
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patient diagnosed with chronic renal failure who has been undergoing hemodialysis for 3 months. 2. Patients with a minimum hemoglobin of 10 mg / dL Exclusion criteria: 1. Hearing and visual impairment 2)Taking medication or food that exacerbates restless leg syndrome during dialysis
Intervention groups
Intervention group 1:Among patients with restless leg syndrome, a group of 30 patients is selected as the cold dialysis solution group. And they will undergo cold hemodialysyis (35.5 ° C ) 4 hours at each session, for 6 weeks 3 times a week. Intervention group 2: Among patients with restless leg syndrome, 30 patients undergo stretching exercises and for 6 weeks 3 times a week for half an hour in the first 2 hours of dialysis do stretching exercises. The dialysis temperature for the group is the same as the standard solution temperature (37 ° C).
Main outcome variables

Randomization description
The samples are selected according to the eligibility criteria and then they randomly are assigned in two groups with 30 patients, the stretching exercises group (by performing hemodialysis with dialysis solution temperature 37) and cold dialysate group (performing hemodialysis with dialysis solution 35/5) using the Permutation blocks method. The control group is marked with the letter a and the intervention group with the letter b and the size of each block is 4, and the number of blocks is 15 and the number of possible permutations is 4. Then from the random number table or using the simulation command in the application R (runif(15,min=1,max=4)، fifteen random numbers selected and fill 15 blocks of states.So the first four person who enter the study the first person receiving treatment b, the second treatment a, the third person receiving treatment b, and the fourth person receiving treatment a.second Four person who enter the study the first person receiving treatment b, the second treatment b, the third person receiving treatment a, and the fourth person receiving treatment a . Fifteenth four person who enter the study the first person receiving treatment b, the second treatment a, the third person receiving treatment b, and the fourth person receiving treatment a. In this study Patients are not blind. The researcher will be blinded by completing the questionnaires by researcher assistant. And data analyzers will be blinded by patient encoding. .
