Résumé
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) puncture pain is an inevitable problem for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and may seriously endanger the physical and mental health of patients with MHD. Studies have shown that drug or nondrug measures can reduce AVF puncture pain, but much improvement is needed. When combined with compound lidocaine cream (CLC) in the treatment of AVF puncture pain, auricular point acupressure (APA)-a therapeutic method in which specific points on the auricle of the outer ear are stimulated to treat various disorders of the body-and the therapeutic value and synergistic effects of auriculotherapy merit further investigation. 120 MHD patients were recruited at blood purification centers in three hospitals between January 2016 and April 2019. After completion of the baseline survey, all patients were randomly divided by the envelope method into a control group, APA group, CLC group, and APA combined with CLC, with 30 subjects per group. The numerical rating scale (NRS) of pain was used to measure the pain before intervention and 1, 4, and 8 weeks after intervention. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ), blood pressure, and heart rates were obtained before and after the intervention. Pain, anxiety, comfort, blood pressure (BP), and heart rates (HR) of the three groups were better than those of the control group; the difference was statistically significant ( Both APA and CLC can effectively relieve AVF puncture pain, and the combined application has more outstanding effects.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) puncture pain is an inevitable problem for maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and may seriously endanger the physical and mental health of patients with MHD. Studies have shown that drug or nondrug measures can reduce AVF puncture pain, but much improvement is needed. When combined with compound lidocaine cream (CLC) in the treatment of AVF puncture pain, auricular point acupressure (APA)-a therapeutic method in which specific points on the auricle of the outer ear are stimulated to treat various disorders of the body-and the therapeutic value and synergistic effects of auriculotherapy merit further investigation.
METHODS
METHODS
120 MHD patients were recruited at blood purification centers in three hospitals between January 2016 and April 2019. After completion of the baseline survey, all patients were randomly divided by the envelope method into a control group, APA group, CLC group, and APA combined with CLC, with 30 subjects per group. The numerical rating scale (NRS) of pain was used to measure the pain before intervention and 1, 4, and 8 weeks after intervention. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), General Comfort Questionnaire (GCQ), blood pressure, and heart rates were obtained before and after the intervention.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Pain, anxiety, comfort, blood pressure (BP), and heart rates (HR) of the three groups were better than those of the control group; the difference was statistically significant (
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Both APA and CLC can effectively relieve AVF puncture pain, and the combined application has more outstanding effects.
