Summary

This study tests a small, battery-powered headband that delivers a gentle electrical stimulation to the scalp to reduce chronic pain in people with end-stage kidney disease who are on dialysis. About 125 adults will use the device at home and report their pain levels. The goal is to see if this non-drug approach can safely ease pain without medication.
