Abstract
Cryotherapy can effectively reduce the venipuncture pain among children with AVF undergoing maintenance HD. However, the confounding effects of distraction and the non-randomized design used must be both considered when interpreting the findings. This study recommends the use of cryotherapy in managing needle puncture pain. Further research must adopt a randomized trial design with a placebo to support further the benefits of this procedure.
