Summary

This study tested whether combining music and acupressure can reduce pain when needles are inserted for dialysis. 72 patients were split into four groups: music plus acupressure, acupressure alone, music alone, or usual care. The results suggest that the combination may offer a drug-free way to ease discomfort during this routine procedure.
