Brief Summary:
The proposed randomized controlled trial RCT evaluated the effect of acupuncture treatment on the functional capacity FC and health-related quality of life HRQoL in stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease CKD patients receiving maintenance dialysis A total of 60 end-stage renal disease ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis HD from a dialysis centre Portugal were randomly assigned to acupuncture sham and control group
Detailed Description:
End-stage renal disease ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis HD experience multiple physical and emotional problems undergo a complex and demanding treatment regimen face a disruptive chronic disease with a significant decrease in functional capacity and a high impact on their HRQoL Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM has been progressively more accepted as an effective therapeutic approach The fundamental questions guiding our entire research project were What is the effect of TCM therapeutic strategies in the improvement of symptoms resulting from renal replacement therapy in ESRD patients undergoing HD Does acupuncture have a positive effect on FC and HRQoL of hemodialysis patient If so are the results maintained over the long term And what is the effectiveness of short-term intensive interventions when compared to less frequent and prolonged interventions over time Is it possible to integrate acupuncture into the dialysis care routine Based on previous research questions and the complexity of CKD the objectives of our study were 1 to assess the effect of acupuncture on FC and HRQoL of ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis 2 evaluate the specific effects of acupuncture as compared to sham 3 evaluate short and long term effects of acupuncture 4 determine the difference between short-term intensive and ongoing but less-frequent acupuncture treatments 5 to assess the feasibility of integrating acupuncture on dialysis care
