End Stage Renal Disease Clinical Trial
Official title:
Acupuncture for Symptomatic Care of Hemodialysis Patients: a Case-series
Purpose:
Hemodialysis-dependent patients with an end-stage renal disease (ESRD) suffer from a number
of distressing symptoms, such as pain, poor mental health, fatigue, sleep disturbance and
pruritus. These negatively influence health-related quality of life in ESRD patients, and
some of them result in increased mortality and hospitalization. Acupuncture is a widely
employed treatment on several chronic disease or condition. Adjunctive use of acupuncture
with conventional treatment could be a possible therapeutic option to establish an optimal
care for ESRD patients who experiences co-morbid conditions or complications of
hemodialysis. Due to its non-pharmacologic feature, the effects of acupuncture without
involving altered pharmacokinetics and drug-interactions in hemodialysis patients, might be
another strong point compared to other pharmacological interventions. However, little
information is available for the effects and the safety of acupuncture for symptomatic care
of hemodialysis patients.
Thus, the investigators propose whether acupuncture could be a effective and safe
therapeutic modality for a number of patient-reported symptoms in hemodialysis-dependent
patients with ESRD.
