Summary

This study tested two simple, drug-free ways to reduce pain when inserting needles for dialysis. 75 adults were split into three groups: one listened to calming music, one looked at their healthy arm in a mirror, and one received usual care. Pain levels were measured right after the needle went in. The goal was to see if these easy techniques could make dialysis less painful.
