To determine the effectiveness of magnetic stimulation application on alleviating back pain and maintaining muscle mass in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Adults aged 19 years or older
Patients diagnosed with end-stage renal failure and receiving dialysis treatment more than three times a week
Back pain intensity of 4 points or higher on the visual analogue scale (VAS)
Those with cognitive function that can clearly indicate NRS with a score of 23 points or higher, the criterion for determining cognitive impairment on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) [14]
If the pain is due to trauma
If it is difficult to participate in the study due to serious mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc.) or psychological instability.
Patients with severe neurological illness (e.g. stroke, severe dementia, etc.).
Those with poor general condition due to unstable cardiovascular, digestive, respiratory, or endocrine systems, or severe internal medical illness such as systemic infection
Single group
Effects of applying magnetic stimulation
DeviceThe Effect of Magnetic Stimulation on Low Back Pain Relief and Muscle Mass Maintenance in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Visual Analogue Sclae (VAS)
An assessment in which the subject quantifies the level of pain numerically from 0 to 10. The higher the number, the more intense the pain.
Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
Measures balance, lower extremity strength, and functional ability on a scale of 0 to 16. Higher scores indicate better function.
The World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF)
The WHOQOL-BREF consists of 26 items, with scores ranging from 1 to 5. A higher score indicates a higher quality of life.
3D Motion Capture
Collecting human body movement data using a 3D infrared camera and ground reaction force device
Dual Energy X-ray Absorptionmetry (DEXA)
A test that measures muscle mass by utilizing the energy absorption properties of high-energy and low-energy X-rays.
