Article Synopsis
- Pain at AVF puncture is prevalent among hemodialysis patients, with 38% of 84 participants reporting significant discomfort.
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two pain relief methods: anesthetic cream (Emla™) and cryotherapy, using a visual analog scale to measure pain before and after treatment over multiple sessions.
- Results showed both methods reduced pain, but cryotherapy was significantly more effective, suggesting it could be a better option for managing pain at AVF puncture.
