Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:8353. [PMID: 39125922 PMCID: PMC11313298 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25158353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress has been identified as a major factor in the development and progression of pain and psychiatric disorders, but the underlying biomarkers and molecular signaling pathways remain unclear. This study aims to identify oxidative stress-related biomarkers and signaling pathways in pain-depression comorbidity. Integrated bioinformatics analyses were applied to identify key genes by comparing pain-depression comorbidity-related genes and oxidative stress-related genes. A total of 580 differentially expressed genes and 35 differentially expressed oxidative stress-related genes (DEOSGs) were identified. By using a weighted gene co-expression network analysis and a protein-protein interaction network, 43 key genes and 5 hub genes were screened out, respectively. DEOSGs were enriched in biological processes and signaling pathways related to oxidative stress and inflammation. The five hub genes, RNF24, MGAM, FOS, and TKT, were deemed potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for patients with pain-depression comorbidity. These genes may serve as valuable targets for further research and may aid in the development of early diagnosis, prevention strategies, and pharmacotherapy tools for this particular patient population.

Prevalence and factors associated with the correlation between malnutrition and pain in hemodialysis patients. Sci Rep 2024; 14:14851. [PMID: 38937541 PMCID: PMC11211339 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-65603-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Malnutrition and pain are common in patients with chronic kidney disease who undergo hemodialysis. Although both pain and malnutrition are associated with increased morbidity and mortality, few studies have explored the correlation between pain and nutritional status. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with pain intensity in patients undergoing hemodialysis, focusing on the risk of malnutrition. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at a regional dialysis center in a large tertiary hospital. Convenience sampling was used to recruit adult patients who had undergone hemodialysis for more than three months. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic and clinical data related to dialysis status, comorbidities, and body mass index (BMI). Pain severity and pain interference with functioning domains of the Brief Pain Index (BPI) were used to assess pain, and the malnutrition inflammation score (MIS) was used to assess nutritional status. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to report the findings. The data were analyzed using the 25th version of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM-SPSS) software. Of the final sample of 230 patients, 63.0% were males and 37.0% were females, with an average age of 58.3 years. Almost one-third of the participants had a BMI within the normal range (33.9%), and nearly one-third had a BMI within the underweight range (33.9%). Slightly more than half had a normal nutritional status or mild malnutrition (54.8%), while just under half had moderate or severe malnutrition (45.2%). The prevalence of pain was 47.0%. At the multivariate level, the severity of pain was associated with malnutrition (p < 0.001). Pain interference with function was associated with marital status (p = 0.045), number of comorbidities (p = 0.012), and malnutrition (p < 0.001). The MIS was positively correlated with both the severity of pain and the interference score. Pain and malnutrition were found to be prevalent in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Pain severity was associated with malnutrition, and pain interference was associated with malnutrition, marital status, and the number of comorbidities. Hemodialysis treatment should follow a patient-tailored approach that addresses pain, nutritional status, and associated chronic conditions. In addition, pain assessment and management should be included in the curriculum of nephrology training programs.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent and severe side effect of first-line chemotherapeutic agents. The association between circular RNAs (circRNAs) and CIPN remains unclear. In this study, CIPN models were constructed with Taxol, while 134 differentially expressed circRNAs, 353 differentially expressed long non-coding RNAs, and 86 differentially expressed messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were identified utilizing RNA sequencing. CircRNA-targeted microRNAs (miRNAs) were predicted using miRanda, and miRNA-targeted mRNAs were predicted using TargetScan and miRDB. The intersection of sequencing and mRNA prediction results was selected to establish the circRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks, which include 15 circRNAs, 18 miRNAs, and 11 mRNAs. Functional enrichment pathway analyses and immune infiltration analyses revealed that differentially expressed mRNAs were enriched in the immune system, especially in T cells, monocytes, and macrophages. Cdh1, Satb2, Fas, P2ry2, and Zfhx2 were further identified as hub genes and validated by RT-qPCR, correlating with macrophages, plasmacytoid dendritic cells, and central memory CD4 T cells in CIPN. Additionally, we predicted the associated diseases, 36 potential transcription factors (TFs), and 30 putative drugs for hub genes using the DisGeNET, TRRUST, and DGIdb databases, respectively. Our results indicated the crucial role of circRNAs, and the immune microenvironment played in CIPN, providing novel insights for further research.

Abstract
Introduction
Headache is a common symptom among hemodialysis patients, with a prevalence around 70%. Dialysis headache is defined according to International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) as a headache without specific characteristics, occurring during and caused by hemodialysis that spontaneously disappears within 72 hours after the dialysis session. There is no consensus on trigger factors or physiopathology.
Objective
To evaluate prevalence, clinical characteristics, and associated factors with dialysis headache.
Methods
Observational study with quantitative analysis. Study patients were divided into two groups: (HD) 25 hemodialysis patients and (Tx) 25 early post kidney transplant patients. A structured questionnaire was applied to all patients, including Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Laboratory data, blood pressure and body weight were analyzed before and after one dialysis session. Results: In group HD, eight patients (32%) had diagnosis of dialysis headache, with pulsating headache (n=6, 75%), photophobia (n=6, 75%), phonophobia (n=4, 50%), and nauseas or vomiting (n=6, 75%), with a mean pain score of 7.75 ± 1.58. Headache group had higher scores of anxieties (7.00 ± 3.93 vs. 3.82 ± 3.23, p=0.03) and sleepiness (9.13 ± 3.94 vs. 4.76 ± 3.85, p=0.01), lower levels of serum calcium (p=0.01), and higher systolic (p=0.02) and diastolic (p=0.02) blood pressure pre dialysis. In group Tx, five patients (20%) reported dialysis headache, with pulsating headache (n=4, 80%), nauseas or vomiting (n=4, 80%), with a mean pain score of 8.0 ± 1.41. Headache group had a higher score of sleepiness (9.20 ± 4.32 vs. 4.80 ± 4.51, p=0.029) and were younger (38.93 ± 14.43 vs. 54.02 ± 8.31, p=0.03).
Conclusion
Headache is frequent among hemodialysis patients and had similar symptoms of migraine. In this series dialysis headache was associated with higher scores of anxieties and sleepiness, higher blood pressure and lower calcium pre dialysis.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aims to find the prevalence of chronic pain and its correlation with the quality of life and vitamin D levels among hemodialysis patients in Palestine. We used the brief pain inventory, the medical outcomes study 36-item short-form health survey, and Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D to assess chronic pain, quality of life, and vitamin D levels, respectively. The study included 200 patients, 38.1% (95% confidence interval 31.3-45.4%) of whom had chronic pain, and 77.7% (95% confidence interval 71.0-83.4%) had deficient Vitamin D levels. Quality of life scores were generally low, with the lowest in role emotional and physical functioning. Sex, comorbidities, and vitamin D level significantly correlate with pain severity. Employment, number of comorbidities, pain severity, and albumin level are significantly associated with the Physical component of quality of life. On the other hand, employment and pain severity are significantly related to the mental component of quality of life. In conclusion, low vitamin D levels, chronic pain, and low quality of life scores are common among hemodialysis patients. In addition, vitamin D is negatively correlated with pain severity. Therefore, healthcare workers should assess and manage hemodialysis patients' chronic pain to improve their quality of life and reduce suffering.

Abstract
Macronutrients and toxic elements may play an important role in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis of the spine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the concentrations of Ca, Mg, Pb, Cd and Hg in blood with the results of hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the severity of pain. Patients with osteoarthritis of the spine (n = 90) and control subjects (n = 40) were studied. The concentrations of mineral components in blood were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (ASA). Spinal pain severity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Hydrogen magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) was used to determine the fat/water ratio in the bodies of L1, L5 and the L4/5 intervertebral disc. The median concentration of Mg in the serum of subjects with spinal degenerative disease was significantly lower (p < 0.001) than that in healthy subjects. The median concentration of Cd in the blood of subjects with osteoarthritis of the spine was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that in the control group. Significantly lower (p < 0.05) median molar ratios of Ca to Cd and Pb as well as Mg to Pb and Cd were observed among patients with osteoarthritis of the spine. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were observed in the value of the fat/water ratio in selected spinal structures, depending on normal or abnormal serum Ca and Mg concentrations. The study showed some abnormal macronutrient concentrations, as well as disturbed ratios of beneficial elements to toxic elements in the blood of people with osteoarthritis of the spine.

Abstract
CONTEXT Puncture-related pain during arteriovenous fistula cannulation is a crucial influential factor in the quality of life of chronic hemodialysis patients. OBJECTIVES/METHODS In this prospective single center study, we used a questionnaire to evaluate the patterns of pain of arteriovenous fistula cannulation in a group of hemodialysis patients. RESULTS From a total of 123 eligible patients with arteriovenous fistula invited to participate, 83 (58 M/25 F) (median age 58 y.o.) returned questionnaires. Sixty-five benefitted from an analgesic intervention on cannulation, and 62 found this intervention effective. We evaluated the pain intensity with the échelle visuelle analogique score, the equivalent of Visual Analogue Scale score in French. No specific analgesic intervention (lidocaine patch or cream, vapocoolant spray) was more effective than the others (pNS). 30/65 patients with and 10/18 patients without analgesic intervention reported pain on cannulation (échelle visuelle analogique>1) (pNS). 21/65 patients with and 6/18 patients without analgesic intervention reported pain on needle retraction (pNS). Forty of the 65 patients with analgesic intervention and 11/18 patients without intervention feel stressed before each cannulation. The stress of arteriovenous fistula-related pain is significantly associated with a sensation of pain on cannulation (P=0.047) and needle retraction (P=0.002). CONCLUSION Despite prophylactic measures for arteriovenous fistula cannulation pain, patients frequently experience stress and unpleasant sensations associated with the procedure.

Abstract
Pain on arteriovenous fistula (AVF) cannulation is a rather persistent problem in the daily hemodialysis practice. Its prevalence varies from 12% to even 80% depending on the definition and the pain-assessment tools and it affects the quality of life of hemodialysis patients. It is associated with fear of the cannulation process, the decision of hemodialysis from an AVF and sometimes the hemodialysis itself. In this narrative review, we tried to tackle the extent of the problem and to present the available published solutions. The literature suggests a large array of methods based on the application of local anesthetic creams, application of cold or hot directly on the cannulation sites or on the contralateral arm, cannulation techniques and AVF localization, distraction as well as alternative treatments. All of them have shown a relative success. There is a serious lack of large multicenter randomized trials and a gap concerning work groups and guidelines or recommendations from national or international societies on this matter. Complementary training starting from the predialysis patient education programs may be useful. Alternative prophylactic measures including counseling, hypnosis, or other physicochemical interventions could also improve our knowledge on the treatment of this seriously uncomfortable condition.

Abstract
Pain is a common but often undertreated symptom in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with a much higher prevalence than in the general population. The aim of this systematic review was to synthesize all available quantitative evidence, in order to gain a better understanding of pain prevalence and pain types in patients with CKD. Four databases and the grey literature were searched until 15th January 2021. Random-effect meta-analyses were conducted with multiple subgroup analyses and meta-regressions to further explore the between-study heterogeneity. The quality of studies included was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the level of evidence was determined using the GRADE approach. One hundred sixteen studies reported data on 40,678 individuals. Results from meta-analyses yielded an overall prevalence of 60% (95% confidence interval 56-64) for pain, 48% (42-55) for chronic pain and 10% (6-15) for neuropathic pain. The prevalence of pain was lower among kidney transplant recipients 46% (37-56) compared with patients undergoing dialysis 63% (57-68) and those with non-dialysis CKD 63% (55-70). Musculoskeletal pain appeared to be the most common pain symptom among patients with CKD managed conservatively 42% (28-56) or receiving dialysis 45% (36-55) whilst abdominal pain was most prevalent in kidney transplant recipients 41% (7-86). Thus, all subgroups of patients with CKD suffer from a high burden of pain. Hence, greater awareness and recognition of this issue is vital to inform policy and service provision in this area.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pain is a common complaint in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, and it is often inadequately assessed and inappropriately treated. OBJECTIVES The study goal was to preliminarily evaluate pain management in MHD patients. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional study conducted in 2013-2015. A sample of 277 MHD patients who reported pain within the last 24 hours from five hospital hemodialysis units in Israel were interviewed and evaluated. Study tools included the Brief Pain Inventory, the Pain Management Index (PMI), demographic and clinical characteristics. Pharmacy computerized data were reviewed to identify the type of analgesics used. RESULTS Mean pain level was 7.2 ± 2.2 (median: 8). Pain level was mild in 17 (6.1%), moderate in 120 (43.3%) and severe in 140 (50.5%) of patients. Only 185 participants (66.8%) were treated with analgesics during the year prior to the interview. Of these, 99 (53.5%) received opioids. Using the PMI to preliminarily assess the appropriateness of the treatment, 214 (77.3%) of patients with pain in the last 24 hours were undertreated, and 52 patients (18.8%) were appropriately treated. In a multivariable analysis, factors associated with inappropriate treatment were severe pain intensity and a higher Functional Independent Measure (FIM). A lower FIM was associated with opioid use in a multivariable analysis. CONCLUSIONS According to the PMI, most dialysis patients were found to be inappropriately treated. About one third received opioids, but even among them, inappropriate treatment was common. Pain management in MHD patients needs to be improved.

Abstract
Background: Chronic pain is a common and distressing symptom reported by patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Clinical practice and research in this area do not appear to be advancing sufficiently to address the issue of chronic pain management in patients with CKD. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and severity of chronic pain in patients with CKD. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Setting: Interventional and observational studies presenting data from 2000 or later. Exclusion criteria included acute kidney injury or studies that limited the study population to a specific cause, symptom, and/or comorbidity. Patients: Adults with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) category 3 to 5 CKD including dialysis patients and those managed conservatively without dialysis. Measurements: Data extracted included title, first author, design, country, year of data collection, publication year, mean age, stage of CKD, prevalence of pain, and severity of pain. Methods: Databases searched included MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library, last searched on February 3, 2020. Two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts, assessed potentially relevant articles, and extracted data. We estimated pooled prevalence of overall chronic pain, musculoskeletal pain, bone/joint pain, muscle pain/soreness, and neuropathic pain and the I2 statistic was computed to measure heterogeneity. Random effects models were used to account for variations in study design and sample populations and a double arcsine transformation was used in the model calculations to account for potential overweighting of studies reporting either very high or very low prevalence measurements. Pain severity scores were calibrated to a score out of 10, to compare across studies. Weighted mean severity scores and 95% confidence intervals were reported. Results: Sixty-eight studies representing 16 558 patients from 26 countries were included. The mean prevalence of chronic pain in hemodialysis patients was 60.5%, and the mean prevalence of moderate or severe pain was 43.6%. Although limited, pain prevalence data for peritoneal dialysis patients (35.9%), those managed conservatively without dialysis (59.8%), those following withdrawal of dialysis (39.2%), and patients with earlier GFR category of CKD (61.2%) suggest similarly high prevalence rates. Limitations: Studies lacked a consistent approach to defining the chronicity and nature of pain. There was also variability in the measures used to determine pain severity, limiting the ability to compare findings across populations. Furthermore, most studies reported mean severity scores for the entire cohort, rather than reporting the prevalence (numerator and denominator) for each of the pain severity categories (mild, moderate, and severe). Mean severity scores for a population do not allow for “responder analyses” nor allow for an understanding of clinically relevant pain. Conclusions: Chronic pain is common and often severe across diverse CKD populations providing a strong imperative to establish chronic pain management as a clinical and research priority. Future research needs to move toward a better understanding of the determinants of chronic pain and to evaluating the effectiveness of pain management strategies with particular attention to the patient outcomes such as overall symptom burden, physical function, and quality of life. The current variability in the outcome measures used to assess pain limits the ability to pool data or make comparisons among studies, which will hinder future evaluations of the efficacy and effectiveness of treatments. Recommendations for measuring and reporting pain in future CKD studies are provided. Trial registration: PROSPERO Registration number CRD42020166965

Abstract
Background Chronic noncancer pain is pervasive throughout the general patient population, transcending all chronic disease states. Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) present a complicated population for which medication management requires careful consideration of the pathogenesis of ESRD and intimate knowledge of pharmacology. The origin of pain must also guide treatment options. As such, the presentation of neuropathic pain in ESRD can present a challenging case. The authors aim to provide a review of available classes of medications and considerations for the treatment of neuropathic pain in ESRD. Summary In this narrative review, the authors discuss important strategies and considerations for the treatment of neuropathic pain in ESRD, including the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain, physiological changes for consideration in ESRD patients, and disease-specific consideration for medication selection. Pharmacotherapeutic classes discussed include: anticonvulsants, antiarrhythmics, antidepressants, topicals, and opioids. Key Message Pain management in ESRD patients requires careful assessment of drug-specific properties, accumulation, metabolism (presence of active/toxic metabolites), extraction by dialysis, and presence of drug - drug interactions. In the absence of pharmacokinetic data in ESRD patients, therapeutic window and potential risks should be factored in the decision making along with continued monitoring throughout therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pain is a problem for individuals undergoing hemodialysis. Renal disease, comorbidities, concurrent symptoms, and dialysis procedures pose barriers to adequate pain management. The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility, examine construct validity of The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computerized adaptive testing (CAT) instruments, and explore pain benefits of Reiki sessions conducted during hemodialysis. DESIGN A one group, repeated-measures design was used. METHOD Fifteen participants received Reiki for 20 minutes, twice a week for 4 weeks. Pain, fatigue, and depression were evaluated using established symptom scales and PROMIS CAT instruments. FINDINGS Participants reported general relaxation feelings with Reiki and acceptability of using a touch-screen device to respond to web-based measures. Although staff were initially reluctant to engage patients for Reiki, they reported Reiki did not interfere with workflow and thought Reiki could be integrated into the practice setting. Significant, strong correlations with established symptom scales support construct validity of PROMIS CAT instruments. There was a significant decrease in mean symptom scores after four weeks of Reiki. Effect size values suggest a range of practical significance. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest Reiki provides symptom relief for individuals receiving hemodialysis, and randomized clinical trials to establish Reiki's pain benefits in this population are warranted.

Abstract
CONTEXT Pain is a common complaint in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients yet is often inadequately assessed and undertreated. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, intensity, and impact of pain in MHD patients. METHODS In a cross-sectional study conducted between 2013 and 2015, 336 MHD patients from five hemodialysis units in hospitals owned by Clalit were interviewed and evaluated. Study tools included the Brief Pain Inventory, The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs Pain Scale, and demographic and clinical characteristics. In addition, computerized pharmaceutical data were reviewed. RESULTS Pain was experienced by 82% of the study population (mean pain level: 7.2 ± 2.2) in the 24-hour period before the interview, while 61.5% experienced neuropathic pain characteristics. Of patients with pain, two-thirds reported being regularly treated with pain medications, while 24.5% received nondrug pain treatment. Mean pain relief due to Brief Pain Inventory was 62.5 ± 30%. In multivariate analysis, female gender, a high comorbidity index, and time on dialysis >24 months were associated with the presence of significant pain in the previous 24 hours. In addition, severe pain report was associated with female gender, depression, ≥4 painful sites, and unemployment. Finally, neuropathic pain was associated with time on dialysis >24 months, depression, ≥4 painful sites, and current intensity of pain >2. CONCLUSION Pain is common in MHD patients and is significantly associated with female gender, comorbidity, time on dialysis, and depression. Results of this study may serve as a starting point for palliative interventions for MHD patients.

Abstract
AbstractObjectivePain-related conditions, such as chronic widespread pain and fibromyalgia, are major burdens for individuals and the health system. Evidence from previous research on the association between circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and pain is conflicting. Thus, we aimed to determine if there is an association between mean 25(OH)D concentration (primary aim), or proportion of hypovitaminosis D (secondary aim), and pain conditions in observational studies.DesignPublished observational research on 25(OH)D concentration and pain-related conditions was systematically searched for in electronic sources (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) and a random-effects meta-analysis was conducted on included studies.ResultsEighty-one observational studies with a total of 50 834 participants were identified. Compared with controls, mean 25(OH)D concentration was significantly lower in patients with arthritis (mean difference (MD): −12·34 nmol/l;P<0·001), muscle pain (MD: −8·97 nmol/l;P=0·003) and chronic widespread pain (MD: −7·77 nmol/l;P<0·001), but not in patients with headache or migraine (MD: −2·53 nmol/l;P=0·06). The odds of vitamin D deficiency was increased for arthritis, muscle pain and chronic widespread pain, but not for headache or migraine, compared with controls. Sensitivity analyses revealed similar results.ConclusionsA significantly lower 25(OH)D concentration was observed in patients with arthritis, muscle pain and chronic widespread pain, compared with those without. These results suggest that low 25(OH)D concentrations may be associated with pain conditions.

Abstract
Background Several studies have reported dialysis-related headache in adults. We investigated headache and its characteristics in pediatric and adolescent patients with chronic kidney disease and patients treated with dialysis, and compared characteristics of patients with and without headache in the entire cohort and separately among dialysis and among chronic kidney disease patients. Methods Patients and their parents who attended a nephrology clinic and hemodialysis unit were interviewed regarding the existence of headache and its characteristics. We reviewed hospital files for medical history, blood test results, and pharmacologic treatment. Headache was defined according to International Headache Society criteria. Results The cohort comprised 60 patients: 39 with chronic kidney disease without hemodialysis and 21 treated with hemodialysis; 39 were males, mean age 11.9 ± 5.3 years. Twenty-six (43.3%) reported experiencing headaches. The hemodialysis group had a higher rate of headache than the chronic kidney disease patients, at 76.2% vs. 25.5%, p < 0.001. In the hemodialysis group, 15 out of 16 reported dialysis-related headache; 14 (87.5%) of these had migraine characteristics. For the entire cohort, headache was associated with hemodialysis, chronic kidney disease grade, lower glomerular filtration rate anemia and a higher parathyroid hormone level. In logistic regression analysis, glomerular filtration rate was significantly associated with headache, odds ratio 2.74 (95% CI 1.56-4.82, p < 0.001). Conclusions A high rate of headache, mostly migraine type, was reported by hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis, anemia, higher parathyroid hormone levels, phosphate, and lower glomerular filtration rate are strongly associated with headache among chronic kidney disease pediatric and adolescent patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Understanding the epidemiology of pain in patients on hemodialysis (HD) is crucial for further improvement in managing pain. The aim of this study was to systematically review available evidence on the prevalence and severity of pain in adult end-stage renal disease patients on chronic intermittent HD. MATERIALS AND METHODS We carried out a systematic review of the literature and developed a comprehensive search strategy based on search terms on pain and HD. We searched the databases MEDLINE, Scopus, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from the earliest date of each database to July 24, 2014. Manuscripts in all languages were taken into consideration. Two authors performed each step independently, and all disagreements were resolved after discussion with the third author. The quality of studies was estimated using the STROBE checklist and Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. RESULTS We included 52 studies with 6,917 participants. The prevalence of acute and chronic pain in HD patients was up to 82% and 92%, respectively. A considerable number of patients suffered from severe pain. Various locations and causes of pain were described, with most of the studies reporting pain in general, pain related to arteriovenous access, headache, and musculoskeletal pain. CONCLUSION The findings of this systematic review indicate high prevalence of pain in HD patients and considerable gaps and limitations in the available evidence. Pain in this population should be recognized as a considerable health concern, and the nephrology community should promote pain management in HD patients as a clinical and research priority to improve patients' quality of life and pain-related disability.

Abstract
Background Patients undergoing hemodialysis frequently report pain with multifactorial causes, not limited to that experienced directly from hemodialysis treatment. Their pain may be nociceptive, neuropathic, somatic or visceral in nature. Despite this, pain in this population remains under-recognized and under-treated. Although several tools have been used to measure pain in patients undergoing hemodialysis as reported in the literature, none of them have been validated specifically in this population. The objective for this review was to compare and contrast these pain assessment tools and discuss their clinical utility in this patient population. Methods To identify pain assessment tools studied in patients undergoing hemodialysis, a literature search was performed in PubMed and Medline. An expert panel of dialysis and pain clinicians reviewed each tool. Each pain assessment tool was assessed on how it is administered and scored, its psychometric properties such as reliability, validity and responsiveness to change, and its clinical utility in a hemodialysis population. Brief Pain Inventory, McGill Pain Questionnaire, Pain Management Index, Edmonton Symptom Assessment System, Visual Analogue Scale and Faces Pain Scale were evaluated and compared. Results This assessment will help clinicians practicing in nephrology to determine which of these pain assessment tools is best suited for use in their individual clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Chronic musculoskeletal (MS) pain is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing haemodialysis. However, epidemiological data for chronic MS pain and factors associated with chronic MS pain in patients with early- or late-stage CKD who are not undergoing dialysis are limited. Method A cross-sectional study to evaluate the prevalence of chronic MS pain and factors associated with chronic MS pain in patients with early- and late-stage CKD who were not undergoing dialysis, was conducted. In addition, the distribution of pain severity among patients with different stages of CKD was evaluated. Results Of the 456 CKD patients studied, 53.3% (n = 243/456) had chronic MS pain. Chronic MS pain was independently and significantly associated with hyperuricemia as co-morbidity, as well as with the calcium × phosphate product levels. In CKD patients with hyperuricemia, chronic MS pain showed a negative, independent significant association with diabetes mellitus as a co-morbidity (odds ratio: 0.413, p = 0.020). However, in the CKD patients without hyperuricemia as a co-morbidity, chronic MS pain showed an independent significant association with the calcium × phosphate product levels (odds ratio: 1.093, p = 0.027). Furthermore, stage-5 CKD patients seemed to experience more severe chronic MS pain than patients with other stages of CKD. Conclusion Chronic MS pain is common in CKD patients. Chronic MS pain was independently and significantly associated with hyperuricemia as co-morbidity, and with the calcium × phosphate product levels in early- and late-stage CKD patients who were not on dialysis.

Abstract
Patients suffering from end-stage kidney disease often complain about pain. It is also known that the presence of chronic pain greatly impacts upon patients’ quality of life (QOL) and can play a crucial role in the co-morbidity of mental health symptoms such as depression and anxiety. The main aim of this study protocol is the investigation of pain self-efficacy, QOL as well as their relation in patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. The final sample size will be around 70-80 patients. Each subject’s QOL and pain self-efficacy will be measured using the following instruments: i) the Missoula- ITAS Quality of Life Index-15 and ii) the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. QOL is expected to be related to pain self-efficacy scores. This probable association will be indicated performing regression as well as correlation analysis after controlling for gender, age, education and marital status.
