Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: It is expected with this project to identify the effectiveness of physical exercise and auricular acupuncture in the population under hemodialysis, in order to identify the benefits of these practices in terms of improving the quality of life of these patients, in order to minimize the suffering caused by this therapy, namely: nausea, systemic pain, vomiting, depressive symptoms, anxiety and fatigue. In addition, we aim to develop technical and scientific materials based on the themes studied, such as case reports, abstracts for conferences, course completion papers and articles;Outcome found: the application of auriculotherapy and physical exercise treatments resistance in patients undergoing hemodialysis promoted protection against oxidative stress by increased levels of antioxidants, in addition to reducing reactive oxygen species and some mediators that suggest inflammatory processes. These non-pharmacological treatments also altered routine biochemical markers of patients and further served as tools to increase the perception of quality of life. | — |
