Summary

Pain is a frequent and difficult to treat symptom in patients with advanced kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have complex pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in these types of patients, so non-pharmacological therapies could be very useful. In this project the investigators propose to test whether the use of a virtual reality platform, designed by the company Psious and tested in other clinical settings, can reduce the pain that patients experience during connection to the dialysis session.

For this the investigators have designed a crossover clinical trial, which will be carried out on 107 hemodialysis patients, in which the intensity of pain (primary objective) and anxiety (secondary objective) that patients experience in the sessions in which participants are treated Using virtual reality, it will be compared with the intensity of pain and anxiety experienced by these same patients, in sessions in which the virtual reality platform is not used.

The results of this clinical trial can support the use of virtual reality as an adjunctive pain treatment in patients with advanced kidney disease.
