Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find the effect of acupuncture laser therapy on Blood Pressure in Hypertension Haemodialysis Patients

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving dialysis, elevated blood pressure is common and poorly controlled in general. Although volume overload and sodium retention appear to be the main pathogenic mechanism of hypertension in this population, other factors such as increased arterial stiffness, activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, sleep apnea, activation of sympathetic nervous system, and use of recombinant erythropoietin may be also involved. Acupuncture laser therapy, which uses low-level laser treatment at specific acupuncture points, has shown promise in reducing blood pressure without invasive procedures. However, its specific efficacy in hemodialysis patients remains underexplored, necessitating this research

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

This expected prospective randomized control trial study will involve 60 haemodialysis patients with hypertension. The patients in the experimental group (E) will subject, medical treatment besides acupuncture laser therapy. Medical treatment will be used in the control group (C). Sleep quality and Blood pressure measurement will be used in the assessment of outcome
