ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying the effects of ice massage on pain, bruising, and patient satisfaction for people undergoing hemodialysis through an arteriovenous fistula. The research aims to see if applying ice to the area before the procedure can help reduce pain and improve the overall experience for patients. If you are at least 18 years old, conscious, and able to communicate, you may be eligible to participate, provided there are no signs of infection in the area where the procedure will take place.

Participants in the study will receive an ice massage ten minutes before their hemodialysis treatment, and researchers will measure their pain levels and satisfaction afterward. It's important to note that if you have any signs of infection, are under 18, or have certain health conditions that might affect bleeding, you won't be able to join the study. This trial is not yet open for recruitment, but it aims to gather valuable information that could help improve the care and comfort of patients undergoing hemodialysis.
