First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether wearing elastic compression stockings on the calves for 30 minutes during hemodialysis could prevent muscle cramps. 82 dialysis patients who had cramps in previous sessions took part. The stockings were wrapped firmly around the lower leg, and researchers measured cramp frequency, pain, and discomfort using standard scales.
