Descrição detalhada
Participants allocated to the intervention group will receive combined traditional and paraspinal acupressure in addition to routine hemodialysis care. The intervention will involve stimulation of selected acupressure points using a vibration acupressure device.
The paraspinal component will include selected thoracic and lumbar points (BL13, BL17, BL23, BL24, and BL25) and will be applied before the hemodialysis session. Traditional peripheral acupressure points, including SP6, SP10, ST36, LI11, LR3, and BL57, will be stimulated during the hemodialysis session.The intervention will be administered according to a standardized protocol regarding point localization, application technique, duration, and frequency to ensure consistency among participants. Participants will be observed during the intervention for any discomfort or adverse events.
Participants allocated to the control group will continue to receive routine hemodialysis care without the acupressure intervention during the study period.
Restless legs syndrome severity and pruritus severity will be evaluated using validated instruments at three predetermined assessment time points. The collected data will be used to examine changes in symptoms over time and differences between the two study groups.

Experimental: intervention group (Vibration assisted acupressure)
Participants in this group will receive vibration-assisted acupressure using an acupressure device applied to selected acupoints in addition to routine hemodialysis care.
The intervention will be administered according to the study protocol to evaluate its effects on restless legs syndrome and pruritus among patients undergoing
|
Vibration-assisted acupressure will be applied to selected traditional and paraspinal acupoints using a handheld vibration device.
The intervention is designed to reduce the severity of restless legs syndrome and pruritus in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
It will be administered according to a predefined intervention protocol in addition to routine hemodialysis care

|
Sem intervenção: CONTROL GROUP
Participants will receive routine hemodialysis care without the acupressure intervention

Change in Restless Legs Syndrome Severity Assessed by the International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group Rating Scale (IRLS)
Prazo: Baseline (before intervention), 1 month after initiation of the intervention, and 2 months after initiation of the intervention
|
The questionnaire consisted of 10 items, each of which had a scale ranging from 0 (no impact) to 4 (very severe impact).
RLS severity was defined as mild (0-10 points), moderate (11-20 points), severe (21-30 points), or very severe (31-40 points).

Change in Pruritus Severity Assessed by the 5-D Itch Scale
Prazo: Baseline (before intervention), 1 month after initiation of the intervention, and 2 months after initiation of the intervention
|
Pruritus severity will be assessed using the 5-D Itch Scale, which evaluates five dimensions of itching: duration, degree, direction, disability, and distribution.
The total score ranges from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating greater severity and impact of pruritus
