Clinical Trial Summary

Pain in patients under hemodialysis affects chronic renal patients' quality of life. Distraction has been effective in controlling pain induced by the insertion of needles. Once applied adequately, distraction promotes endorphins' release, with efficacy in acute pain. This study aims to evaluate pain perception while puncturing the hemodialysis device using an anti-stress ball as a distraction strategy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pain perception by hemodialysis patients	Assess the perceived pain by chronic kidney disease patients at the time of vascular access cannulation for hemodialysis, by a pain scale. On the intervention group was used a distraction technique, using an anti-stress ball, at weeks 7-12. On the control group there was only the measurement of pain by scale.	12 weeks
