Summary

The procedure of puncturing during needle insertion and moving needles within the tissues, the insertion angle, diameter of needles, and insertion techniques all lead the patient to experience pain. However, patients tolerate needle insertion more easily when the pain is managed well. Therefore, pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are needed in pain control in order to improve comfort when undergoing hemodialysis (HD), and to facilitate patient's compliance to treatment over a longer period. Being one of the non-pharmacological practices, aromatherapy is a part of phototherapy, which means "therapy with plants" and also aims to manage symptoms such as pain as well as the treatment itself.
