About
This study aims to evaluate the effects of auricular acupressure on salivary flow rate and fluid restriction adherence among children undergoing Hemodialysis .
Hypothesis Children undergoing Hemodialysis who receive both auricular acupressure and fluid restriction program exhibit better salivary flow rate and fluid control adherence than those who receive fluid restriction program only.
Full description
A non-randomized control trial was conducted at the Hemodialysis Unit in the Alexandria University Children's Hospital. A convenient sample of 60 children undergoing Hemodialysis was randomly assigned to two parallel groups. Both groups received the fluid restriction program in three types of sessions: general small-group discussion, individualized consultations, and follow-up. The study group also received auricular acupressure on four acupoints: Shenmen, Kidney Concha, Point Zero, and Upper Tragus.
