What this Trial Is About
Pain is one of the most common symptoms among patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD), and often goes unrecognized or inadequately managed in hemodialysis patients. More than 50% of patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer from pain, with 75% of them being treated ineffectively due to healthcare professionals\' lack of awareness of this symptom. Therefore, pain management in this population is a complex and challenging task for healthcare providers. The most prevalent pain syndromes in hemodialysis patients include musculoskeletal disorders, metabolic neuropathies, in addition to typical intradialytic pain. The aim of this study is to assess the presence and characteristics of chronic pain in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis to determine whether it is relevant to include the management of chronic pain in the holistic treatment (physical activity, nutrition, and psychological support) already being implemented in various studies for these patients.
