Official Title: Effect of Transcutaneous Stellate Ganglion Electrical Stimulation on Restless Leg Syndrome in Hemodialysis Patients
Brief Summary:
This randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of transcutaneous stellate ganglion electrical nerve stimulation (TENS-SG) on restless legs syndrome (RLS) in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Thirty-six patients aged 40-50 years were randomly assigned to two equal groups: Group A received active TENS-SG applied over the cervical-thoracic (stellate ganglion) region three times weekly for four weeks, while Group B received placebo stimulation.The study evaluated multiple outcomes including RLS severity…
