“…Thus, there were moderate levels of pain during fistula needle insertion, 15 which is consistent with the findings of the present study‏. Ghods et al, reported the pain severity score during insertion of vascular needles in hemo‏dialysis patients without any intervention as 4.59 (2.02), 18 which is similar to the findings in the present research.…”

Introduction: There is a paucity of information on the effects of Hegu point ice massage and 2% lidocaine gel on fistula puncture-related pain in hemodialysis patients. The aim of the present research was compare the two methods in terms of their effectiveness. Methods: This study is a randomized controlled trial. Seventy hemodialysis patients were divided into two groups. The fistula puncture-related pain in the two groups was measured in the first session of hemodialysis without any intervention. During a hemodialysis session, 2% lidocaine gel was applied on the patient’s arteriovenous fistula site in one group. Also, for the other group, an ice cube was used to massage on the Hegu point in the hand without fistula in the other hemodialysis session. The pain score was recorded, using the Visual Analogue Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS ver.13. Results: No significant differences were observed in the mean pain scores of the two groups in the preintervention phase. The comparison of the pain score before and after interventions of the lidocaine gel and ice massage groups was found to bear significant differences. Moreover, the comparison of the mean changes of the pain score before and after the intervention of the Hegu point ice massage groups revealed a further reduction for Hegu point than of lidocaine gel groups. Conclusion: Lidocaine gel and Hegu point ice massage affect the intensity of fistula puncture related pain in hemodialysis patients. Given the higher effectiveness of Hegu point ice massage, this method is recommended to be used for fast and safe pain reduction in hemodialysis patients.

“…It may be associated with depressive symptoms and lower quality of life in patients with HD [19]. Therefore, various methods have been attempted to reduce needle insertion pain [6][7][8][9][10][11]. The buttonhole technique has been expected to decrease pain more effectively than the rope-ladder or rotatingsite cannulation technique [6], but a recent metaanalysis concluded that no difference in cannulation pain was found between the 2 techniques in randomized controlled trials [7].…”

“…However, to recruit many patients and operate the study in the real-world clinical environment with a limited number of medical staff, we had to change the protocol to a single assessment comparing needle insertion pain with and without MutsuSenshi® only 1 time at the end of the second week. For this purpose, we had to modify a commonly used absolute VAS to a comparative one, making it difficult to compare the effectiveness of Mutsu-Senshi® with other pain control modalities such as lidocaine patches [8,9] and lavender essential oil [10,11]. Second, our study population mostly included patients receiving HD for 1 year or longer.…”

“…In fact, pain during needle insertion is the most common patient complaint regarding hemodialysis access [5]. Several approaches have been developed to minimize needle insertion pain, including buttonhole cannulation technique [6,7], lidocaine-containing local anesthetic cream/ patches [8,9], and lavender essential oil [10,11]. However, their effects are variable and unpredictable.…”

Background: Needle insertion pain associated with maintenance hemodialysis (HD) causes considerable stress on HD patients with native arteriovenous fistula. Skin cooling has been suggested to modify pain sensitivity and reduce needle insertion pain. Recently, a skin cooling device, named Mutsu-Senshi®, has been developed to decrease local skin temperature to 21°C smoothly and safely at the bedside. Therefore, we examined the effectiveness of Mutsu-Senshi® in 4 HD centers in Japan.

Lavender fragrance (LF) was encapsulated successfully in ORMOSIL (organically modified silica) via the sol‐gel approach. Silane precursor‐ethylsilicate (TEOS) was modified with methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) to enhance the mechanical strength and compatibility of the wall material. Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) was added as surfactant and polymer for the formation of nanospheres. An encapsulation efficiency of 96.36% was achieved under optimal conditions (water/ethanol ratio of 2 : 1, with pH 9.5, and with a surfactant concentration of 25 mM). Moreover, a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the LF nanospheres showed that the nanospheres were spherical with good dispersibility. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis indicated that LF was successfully encapsulated in organically modified silica. The result of thermogravimetric (TG) analysis showed that the nanospheres had excellent thermal stability. Furthermore, the SEM image of aromatic wallpaper indicated a successful application of the LF nanospheres in wallpaper.
