“…The application of TCM and acupuncture concepts in the field of nephrology has been increasingly described in recent research [ 12 ]. Kim et al (2011) studied patients undergoing hemodialysis receiving acupuncture treatment for some of their symptoms, and acupuncture seemed to be feasible and safe for symptom management [ 13 ]; Bullen et al (2018) have concluded that acupuncture during HD may contribute toward the improvement of health-related QoL [ 14 ]; Yu et al (2017) evaluated the feasibility effect of acupuncture on renal function in patients with CKD and results suggest reduced creatinine levels and increased GFR [ 15 ].…”

Decreased functional capacity (FC) in patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) is associated with adverse health events and poor survival. Acupuncture is recognized as a safe and effective integrative treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of acupuncture treatment on the FC in chronic kidney disease with GFR category 5 (CKG G5) patients undergoing HD. In this patient-assessor blinded randomized controlled trial, seventy-two KF patients were randomly assigned to experimental (n = 24), placebo (n = 24) and control groups (n = 24). The primary outcome was the improvement in FC assessed by the 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT). Secondary outcomes included assessment of peripheral muscle strength by the Handgrip Strength Test (HGS) and the 30-Second Sit-to-Stand Test (STS-30) at baseline, after treatment and at 12-week follow up. A mixed ANOVA with interaction time*group was used. The experimental group increased walk distance (p < 0.001), lower limbs strength (p < 0.001) and handgrip strength (p = 0.012) after nine acupuncture sessions and stabilized in the follow-up (p > 0.05). In the placebo and control groups the 6-MWT and 30STS results decreased (p < 0.001) and the HGS scores did not change through time (p > 0.05). Acupuncture treatment improved FC and muscle strength in patients undergoing HD.

“…The measurement of fatigue include Piper Fatigue Scale [17], Novel Fatigue Scale for Hemodialysis [18]; Fatigue Severity Scale [19][20][21], Fatigue Scale [22]; Rothen Fatigue Scale [23], and visual analog scale [24]. Quality of life were assessed using PROMIS [18,25,26] and KDQOL-SF 3 [19][20][21][22][23][24][27][28][29][30].…”

Adult patients with CKD who receive haemodialysis treatment often experience physiological problems and psychological problems. Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis described fatigue as a debilitating symptom that prevent them participate in social and recreational activities, which can lead to decrements in mental health and poor satisfaction with life [4]. Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom affecting 62%-72% patients undergoing hemodialysis [5][6][7]. Fatigue is negatively associated with

“…Physical therapy or exercise-based interventions have been successful in improving pain in the general population [41]. Few studies of exercise, physical therapy, yoga, or acupuncture in patients with kidney disease have included pain as an outcome but show promising results [42][43][44][45]. Given that non-pharmacological interventions are generally safe, further research should test the effectiveness, feasibility and acceptability of them for patients with kidney disease.…”

Purpose of Review-This review evaluates current recommendations for pain management in CKD and ESKD with a specific focus on evidence for opioid analgesia, including the partial agonist, buprenorphine.Recent Findings-Recent evidence supports the use of physical activity and other nonpharmacologic therapies, either alone or with pharmacological therapies, for pain management. Nonopioid analgesics, including acetaminophen, topical analgesics, gabapentinoids, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and tricyclic antidepressants may be considered based on pain etiology and type, with careful dose considerations in kidney disease. NSAIDs may be used in CKD and ESKD for short durations with careful monitoring. Opioid use should be minimized and reserved for patients who have failed other therapies. Opioids have been associated with increased adverse events in this population, and thus should be used cautiously after risk/ benefit discussion with the patient. Opioids that are safer to use in kidney disease include oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl, methadone and buprenorphine. Buprenorphine appears to be a promising and safer option due to its partial agonism at the mu opioid receptor.Summary-Pain is poorly managed in patients with kidney disease. Non-pharmacological and non-opioid analgesics should be first-line approaches for pain management. Opioid use should be minimized with careful monitoring and dose adjustment.

Effect of Acupuncture or Massage on Health-Related Quality of Life of Hemodialysis Patients

Abstract: Use of complementary therapies such as massage and acupuncture during HD may contribute toward improvement of HR-QOL and thus should be considered when addressing overall health status of these patients.
