About this study

Official title: The Effect of Ice Application and Kaleidoscope Application on the Management of Cannulation-Related Pain in Dialysis Patients With Arteriovenous Fistula

It was conducted to investigate the effect of ice application to the kaleidoscope and hoku point on the management of cannulization-related pain in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment.

Read the detailed description

After obtaining the necessary permissions for the research, the patients who were followed up in the hemodialysis unit of X,Y, Z Hospitals were randomly divided into three groups (Kaleidoscope application, ice application and control group).

Patients were made to sign written voluntary consent forms by the researchers.After the patients were transferred to the randomized program for the arrival days and TC numbers for the dialysis session, they were assigned to the experimental and control groups.

The patients' pain levels were evaluated during 3 dialysis sessions.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • KaleidoscopeGroupOther

    Also called Experimental

    The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions.In order for the patients in the kaleidoscope group to recognize the device and increase their compliance during the procedure, a practice was performed using the device before the AVF cannulation procedure. Kaleidoscope application was performed during cannulation.

  • Ice Application GroupOther

    Also called Experimental

    The group consists of 34 people. Pain level was measured during 3 dialysis sessions. Before, during and after AVF cannulation, VAS pain scores will be evaluated after cannulation without any intervention.Ice application application was made with non-melting ice molds to the area where the index finger and thumb of the hand with fistula are joined (HOKU point)

  • Control GroupOther

    Also called Experimental

    The group consists of 34 people. Pain level will be measured during 3 dialysis sessions. In the control group, the vital signs of the patients before AVF cannulation will be recorded.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. visual pain scale (min-max:0-10 point) (1 week= during 3rd dialysis sessions)

    Evaluation of pain levels (minimum=0 points, maximum: 10 points) of experimental and control groups in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dialysis sessions

    The visual pain scale is minimum 0 and maximum 10 points. 0 means no pain, 10 means severe pain.

    1. st dialysis session= Visual analog pain scores during cannulation were evaluated without any application.
    2. nd and 3rd dialysis sessions: Ice application to the patient's hoku point was performed by the researcher for 1 min before the AVF cannulation procedure and during cannulation, and visual analog scale pain scores was filled in during cannulation.

    Kaleidoscope application was performed to the patient for 5 minutes before AVF cannulation procedure and during cannulation. The visual analog scale pain score was filled in during cannulation.

    Control Group:visual analog scale pain scores will be evaluated before, during and after AVF cannulation without any intervention after the procedure.

    Measured: One week= during 3rd dialysis sessions

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The evaluation of Ice Application and kaleidoscope application

    Learning patient experiences regarding ice application and kaleidoscope application via Kaleidoscope Application Patient Experience Form, Patient Experience Form for Ice Application.

    The answers of the participants to the questions in the evaluation forms (Kaleidoscope Application Patient Experience Form, Patient Experience Form for Ice Application) are presented as a percentage. They were asked to answer the questions asked in the form as "yes, no, partially".

    Measured: After 3rd dialysis session (after one week)

  2. Sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics

    Comparison of sociodemographic characteristics (age, gender) with visual pain scale scores of the experimental and control groups.

    Comparison of disease-related characteristics [Body mass index:weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2 (weight in kilograms, height in meters=kg/m2), duration of dialysis (months), artery and vein needle size (14,15,16,17 gauge), duration of fistula use, region where the fistula is located)] with visual pain scale scores of the experimental and control groups.

    NOTE:After the data in all dialysis centers were completed (within about three months), the analysis was performed.

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 3rd month.

Model description
After obtaining the necessary permissions for the research, the patients who were followed up in the hemodialysis unit of X,Y, Z Hospitals were randomly divided into three groups (Kaleidoscope application, ice application and control group). Patients were made to sign written voluntary consent forms by the researchers.After the patients were transferred to the randomized program for the arrival days and TC numbers for the dialysis session, they were assigned to the experimental and control groups. The patients' pain levels were evaluated during 3 dialysis sessions. The pain level was evaluated without the procedure on the first day. 2 and 3. on the other hand, pain levels were evaluated after the interventions per day. The data in the research are; Patient Diagnosis Form, Numerical Rating Scale and Life Signs Follow-up Form and Kaleidoscope Application Patient Experience Form, It was collected using the Patient Experience Form Related to Ice Application.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing KaleidoscopeGroup and Ice Application Group in people with Hemodialysis Access, run by Sülayman YAMAN at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

visual pain scale (min-max:0-10 point) (1 week= during 3rd dialysis sessions) (time frame: One week= during 3rd dialysis sessions). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
