Summary

This study tested two simple, drug-free ways to reduce pain when inserting needles for dialysis. 75 patients were split into three groups: one listened to calming music, one looked at their healthy arm in a mirror, and one received standard care. Pain scores were compared right after needle insertion to see which method worked best.
