Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The study included patients over 18 and under 65 years old, undergoing hemodialysis, having an AVF, literate, without an aloe vera allergy, and without communication barriers or psychiatric disorders.
The main research questions were defined as follows: Did different pain management methods (cooling spray, aloe vera gel, and standard procedure) affect pain levels during AVF cannulation? Which intervention was more effective in reducing pain levels? The primary hypotheses were defined as The application of cooling spray and aloe vera gel would reduce pain levels more than the standard procedure.
The researchers compared pain levels after each intervention to determine which one was more effective. Three different interventions (cooling spray, aloe vera gel, and standard procedure) were applied to participants in sequence, and pain levels were assessed after each intervention using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Additionally, feedback from participants regarding each intervention was collected.

Single Group Assignment
Three different interventions (cooling spray, aloe vera gel, and standard procedure) were applied to participants in sequence
Cooling Spray
A cooling spray containing propan-butane-pentane was applied 25 cm from the cannulation site until mild whitening/frosting appeared.
The standard AVF cannulation procedure was performed. Pain levels were measured immediately after the procedure using VAS.
Cold Aloe Vera Gel Application
1 ml of cold aloe vera gel was applied to a 5x5 cm area over the fistula site. The standard AVF cannulation procedure was conducted. Pain levels were assessed post-procedure using VAS.
Standard Procedure (Control Condition)
No additional pain-relief intervention was applied. The nurse performed the standard AVF cannulation procedure, including hand hygiene, thrill assessment, and site disinfection.
Pain levels were assessed immediately after cannulation using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS).
