ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how foot reflexology and therapeutic touch can help reduce fatigue and depression, and improve the quality of sexual life for women who are undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Hemodialysis is a process that helps filter waste from the blood when the kidneys aren't working properly, but it can also affect women's mental health and sexual well-being. By exploring these alternative therapies, the study hopes to find better ways to support the overall health of female patients during their treatment.
To be eligible for this study, women must be between the ages of 18 and 65, and they should be sexually active and willing to take part. Participants can expect to receive foot reflexology and therapeutic touch sessions, which are gentle, non-invasive methods aimed at promoting relaxation and well-being. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it may offer valuable insights into how these therapies can improve the quality of life for women facing the challenges of hemodialysis.
