# The Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on the Renal Function and Renal Blood Flow

**Official Title:** The Effect of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) on the Renal Function and Renal Blood Flow for Patients With Pregnancy Related- Acute Kidney Injury

**NCT ID:** [NCT04580329](https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04580329)

## Key Facts

- **Status:** UNKNOWN
- **Phase:** NA
- **Study Type:** INTERVENTIONAL
- **Target Enrollment:** 60
- **Lead Sponsor:** Ahmed talaat ahmed aly
- **Conditions:** Renal Injury
- **Start Date:** 2020-10-15
- **Completion Date:** 2020-11-30
- **CT.gov Last Update:** 2020-10-14

## Brief Summary

A randomized prospective controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on the renal function and renal blood flow of post partum women with acute kidney injury.

## Eligibility

- **Minimum age:** 18 Years
- **Maximum age:** 60 Years
- **Sex:** FEMALE
- **Healthy Volunteers:** No

```
Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients aged 18 or old and hemodynamically stable.
* Post-partum women who developed AKI.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnant women .
* Patients who required any emergency or elective surgery during the study; those who presented acute heart or lung disease, skin rashes, tumors, infections, diabetes mellitus or hypoesthesia in the region that the neuromuscular electrical stimulation would be applied.
* Patients with a Pacemaker.
* Epileptic Patients.
* Patients with recent effects of stroke (less than 3 months).
* Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 230 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure \> 120 mm Hg).
```

## Arms

- **NMES group** (EXPERIMENTAL)
- **control group** (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Interventions

- **neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in addition to routine hospital care** (PROCEDURE) — Patients in the NMES group will receive NMES sessions as the electrodes will be placed around the bilateral femoral quadriceps muscles and at the site of renal arteries.

NMES(\>100 Hz, 50-80 μ sec) will be performed for 55 min including 5 minutes for warm up and 5 minutes for recovery .

The intensity of electrical stimulation will be adjusted to suit the comfort level of each individual patient without producing discomfort or pain.
- **routine hospital care without NMES** (PROCEDURE) — routine hospital care include all the routine intervention done for post partum women with AKI including fluid resuscitation, diuretics, hemodialysis

## Primary Outcomes

- **renal function change** _(time frame: for 7 days)_ — serum creatinine level will be assessed and it will show improvement
- **renal blood flow change** _(time frame: for 7 days)_ — urine output will be assessed and it will show improvement
