More than 50% of patients undergoing hemodialysis suffer from pain, with 75% of them being treated ineffectively due to healthcare professionals\&amp;#39; lack of awareness of this symptom. Therefore, pain management in this population is a complex and challenging task for healthcare providers. The most prevalent pain syndromes in hemodialysis patients include musculoskeletal disorders, metabolic neuropathies, in addition to typical intradialytic pain.The aim of this study is to assess the presence and characteristics of chronic pain in patients with ESRD undergoing hemodialysis to determine whether it is relevant to include the management of chronic pain in the holistic treatment (physical activity, nutrition, and psychological support) already being implemented in various studies for these patients., conditionsModule conditions: Chronic Pain, conditions: Chronic Kidney Disease, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: COHORT, timePerspective: PROSPECTIVE, enrollmentInfo count: 40, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Stress level assessed by the salivary cortisol test, primaryOutcomes measure: Stress level assessed by the perceived stress scale (PSS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Self- efficacy assessed by questionnaire, secondaryOutcomes measure: Quality of sleep assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, secondaryOutcomes measure: The impact of headaches on life assessed by Headache Impact Test-6, secondaryOutcomes measure: Anxiety and depression assessed by Hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Aspects of catastrophic cognitions about pain-rumination, magnification, and helplessness assessed by The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), secondaryOutcomes measure: Chronic pain assessd by Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa, city: Terrassa, state: Barcelona, zip: 08227, country: Spain, contacts name: Vicent Esteve-Simó, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 00 34 937310007, email: vesteve@cst.cat, geoPoint lat: 41.56667, lon: 2.01667, locations facility: Universidad Cardenal Herrera-CEU, CEU Universities, city: Alfara del Patriarca, state: Valencia, zip: 46115, country: Spain, contacts name: Eva Segura Orti, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 0034961369000, phoneExt: 64439, email: ESEGURA@UCHCEU.ES, geoPoint lat: 39.55, lon: -0.38333, hasResults: False
