Acupressure Versus Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Pain and Quality of Life Intradialysis

Acupressure is effective on anxiety and depression management. acupressure therapy at K1, ST36, and SP6 acupoints significantly reduced anxiety \& depression in patients with ESRD.

TENS lead to meaningful reduction of pain in patients suffering from difficult to treat phantom limb pain. This treatment has a high success rate and is associated with high satisfaction rates and no reported adverse events. The suggested duration of treatment is at least 30 minutes and may be extended up to 45 minutes. TENS delivers pulsed electric currents across the intact surface of the skin to stimulate peripheral nerves and the spinal cord, resulting in segmental and extra segmental analgesia.
