Detailed description

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive, irreversible renal disease in which the ability of the body to maintain the balance of metabolism, fluid and electrolytes fails. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the major health problems with an increasing prevalence in the World. Hemodialysis as one of the most common methods of renal replacement therapy is a stressful procedure despite to maintain the survival of patients with chronic kidney disease that permanent and safe vascular access is one of the requirements of a successful hemodialysis. The pain of AVF puncture is common among the patients undergoing HD as acute and chronic pain which reported in more than 82% and 92% of them, respectively. Experience of the arteriovenous fistula puncture-related pain can have unpleasant effects on the patients, it causes that hemodialysis patients experience more disability, depression, irritability, and insomnia than other patients in adapting to stress. Experiencing continued pain can also affect the level of hemodialysis acceptance in patients and ultimately decrease quality of life. Therefore, pain control is an important priority in these patients.
