An interventional study of TENS, Distractive techniques, cryotherapy in TENS, Distractive Techniques, Arteriovenous Fistula, Puncture Pain, Hemodialysis, sponsored by Cairo University. Status unknown at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-07-29.
Sponsored by Cairo University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Statement of the problem:
This study will be conducted to answer the following question:
Is there a difference in the efficacy of TENS and distractive techniques when combined with cryotherapy in managing pain due to arteriovenous fistula puncture and improving quality of life in hemodialysis patients ?
Null Hypotheses:
Subjects' Selection:
The patients will be randomly assigned to 3 groups;
Group (3) will receive (cryotherapy and conventional physical therapy program). Patients will be assessed for quality of life before and after treatment and will receive 3 sessions per week consisted of TENS, distractive techniques , Cryotherapy and conventional physical therapy program during AVF Puncture during dialysis for 4 weeks.
1-Inclusion criteria:
2-Exclusion Criteria:
The following were considered exclusion criteria:
All groups will be assessed for quality of life using Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form Scale (KDQOL-SF) before and after treatment.
267 studies on the registry are indexed under Arteriovenous Fistula; 44 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 45 is below the median of 68 across 177 interventional studies indexed under Arteriovenous Fistula.

Group (1): Will receive (TENS , cryotherapy and conventional physical therapy ) Massage with ice was done by the researcher over the AVF puncture site . After that, the TENS electrodes will be applied by the researcher 6 centimeters apart closely up and down the skin area for insertion of the needle. * Group (2): Will receive (Distraction techniques ,cryotherapy and conventional physical therapy ) Initially five minutes before starting hemodialysis, Distraction techniques will be applied. Natural and eye-catching images were broadcasted through a video display device on a laptop monitor in a manner that was easy for the older patient to watch while they were lying on the bed. Massage with ice was done by the researcher over the AVF puncture site * Group (3): Will receive (cryotherapy and conventional physical therapy )
The KDQOL-36, Numerical Rating Scale for pain measurement
1. Numerical Rating Scale of Pain Severity is numbered between 0 and 10 indicating positive and negative pain statements, respectively. Accordingly, the rating of this scale was 0 (lack of pain), 1-3 (low pain), 4-6 (moderate pain), 7-9 (severe pain), and 10 (very severe pain). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for this tool was reported as 0.95 and its reliability score using the intra-class correlation coefficient was 0.92 (Mirtajadini et al., 2016). 2. The KDQOL-36: It is a 36-item health-related quality of life instrument adapted from the original 134-item KDQOL, an instrument principally developed to measure quality of life of dialysis patients \[25\].
