A Preliminary Randomized Study of Tianjiu (Auto-moxibustion) Effects in Patients With Intradialytic Hypotension

Intradialytic Hypotension Clinical Trial

Official title:
Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Kaohsiung

Clinical Trial Summary

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a most frequent complication of hemodialysis (HD) and may contribute to cardiovascular events and high mortality. The etiology of IDH is multifactorial; therefore, it remains a challenging problem in the management of HD patients. Because moxibustion (MO) at specific points can influences hemodynamics, we hypothesize that Tianjiu (auto-MO) at the traditionally used meridian points will reduce the severity of hypotension in patients who undergo HD.

Clinical Trial Description

In this clinical trial, 45 patients had IDH were divided randomly into two (auto-MO therapy and control) groups for 4 weeks. In the Tianjiu (auto-MO) group, the patients were applied at 3 points (Conception Vessel 4, and Kidney 1) for 3-4 h during HD sessions. All number of episodes complicated by symptomatic IDH during HD sessions and the number of IDH-related nursing interventions (Trendelenburg position, manual reduction of ultrafiltration rate, infusion of isotonic saline or hypertonic fluid, lowering of dialysate temperature) in a session were recorded. Pre- and post-dialysis systolic and diastolic BP, pre- and post-dialysis body weights, interdialytic weight gain, percentage of target ultrafiltration achieved, patient's subjective assessment of the degree of fatigue after dialysis (scale from 0 to 10; 0, not at all, 10, extremely) and recovery time from fatigue after dialysis were measured at the 0, 2nd, 4th and 6th week. ;
