Protocol summary

Study aim
The unpleasant and stressful experiences of patients should be minimized.
Design
Clinical trial with two intervention groups, with parallel groups, without strain, simple randomization, table of random numbers, on 56 patients.
Settings and conduct
This study is carried out in Hami Arak Dialysis Center.Group A patients are placed in the venipuncture site under the intervention of using an ice pack. The ice bag is placed for 10 minutes on the place where the vascular needles are inserted and is moved clockwise with moderate pressure. After ten minutes, the ice pack is remove, after which cannulation is performed, and then pain intensity is measured with the VAS instrument within 1 minute at most after cannulation. Group B patients are placed at Hugo's point under the intervention of using an ice bag. In this method, the ice bag is moved clockwise for 10 minutes on the Hugo point, between the thumb and forefinger, on the back of the hand opposite to the cannulation, with moderate pressure. After ten minutes, the cannulation is done and then within 1 minute after the cannulation, the pain level is measured with the VAS tool.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Patient age, between 18-70 years. Having a fistula, at least 3 months. The patient should undergo hemodialysis 3 times a week. Regular hemodialysis
Intervention groups
Using an ice pack at the two places where the needle is inserted and Hugo's point, in order to compare the reduction of pain in these two points
Main outcome variables
The treatment team can reduce the pain and suffering of patients by using a local and easy method and increase the quality of nursing services; Raising the awareness of nurses about the benefits of using local pain relief methods and paying more attention to this issue.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The randomization method is simple. The randomization unit is individual. The randomization tool is the table of random numbers. We number the statistical community from 1 to the last... and record each of the numbers on similar and identical small cards. Then we put all the cards in a box and every time after shaking the box, we randomly take out one card from the box and record its number. We continue this process until the desired number of sample units is obtained.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Patients are divided into two intervention groups, first and second. The cooler used in this research is made by YAKHPACK company of Iran. Its dimensions are 10 x 10 cm and its weight is approximately 100 grams, which is made of gelatinous and non-toxic materials. The alcohol pad used is from Saba Tab Company. The patients of the first intervention group are placed in the venipuncture site under the intervention of using an ice pack. In this method, the needle entry point is marked before placing the ice pack. Then The ice pack is placed for 10 minutes on the place where the vascular needles are inserted and moved clockwise with medium pressure. (During 10 minutes: 15 seconds of rest for every 2 minutes). After ten minutes, the ice pack is removed and the area is sterilized with an alcohol pad, after which cannulation is performed, and then pain intensity is measured with a Visual Analogue Scale tool within 1 minute after cannulation.

Description
Intervention group: The patients of the second intervention group are placed in Hugo's point under the intervention of using an ice pack. In this method, the ice pack is moved for 10 minutes on the Hugo point, between the thumb and forefinger, on the back of the hand opposite to the cannulation, with moderate pressure, in a clockwise direction. (During 10 minutes: 15 seconds of rest for every 2 minutes). After ten minutes, the cannulation is done and then within 1 minute after the cannulation, the pain level is measured with the Visual Analogue Scale tool.
