change in Quality of life scale
Chronic neck pain is a common issue among individuals undergoing hemodialysis, often resulting from factors such as poor posture during treatments, muscle tension, and underlying health conditions. Traditional pain management strategies may not always provide adequate relief and can have undesirable side effects, especially in patients with complex medical histories.
