Acupoint Stimulation Improves Fatigue and Sleep Quality in Patients With Postdialysis

Hemodialysis is a necessary treatment to prolong the lives of patients with end-stage kidney disease. However, long-term dialysis can lead to fatigue and decreased sleep quality. Acupoint stimulation can regulate meridians and improve physical function. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of low-level laser stimulation on fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients remains unclear. This study is designed to use low-level laser stimulation as an intervention measure to evaluate its effectiveness in improving fatigue and sleep quality in hemodialysis patients.
