This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases β it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) β a type of gentle sound wave therapy β can help new arteriovenous fistulas (surgical connections between an artery and vein in your arm) mature more quickly and reliably. If you have end-stage kidney disease and need dialysis, a mature fistula is the preferred way to access your bloodstream for treatment. This trial will see whether this treatment can improve how well your fistula develops.
Many people with kidney disease who need dialysis struggle with fistulas that don't mature properly or fail over time, which can delay or interrupt their lifesaving treatment. Researchers want to see if this non-invasive sound wave therapy can safely boost the natural maturation process and reduce complications.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive either real ultrasound treatment or a fake treatment (control group). The real treatment involves wearing a portable ultrasound device on your forearm three times per week during your dialysis sessions, for 20 minutes each time, over 12 weeks. You will have check-ups and ultrasound scans at weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16 to measure how well your fistula is developing and to make sure the treatment is safe.
