Insights
Music-based interventions may help manage symptoms for individuals undergoing hemodialysis (HD). This review examines music
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Psychoneuroimmunology
- Complementary and Alternative Medicine
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects millions globally, often leading to significant symptom burden.
- Hemodialysis (HD) is a life-sustaining treatment for end-stage renal disease but is associated with numerous complications.
- Patient-reported outcomes such as fatigue, pain, and depression significantly impact quality of life (QoL) in CKD patients on HD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically evaluate the impact of music-based interventions (MBIs) on various health outcomes in patients receiving hemodialysis.
- To synthesize evidence regarding MBIs' effects on fatigue, blood pressure, depression, pain, anxiety, stress, QoL, and sleep quality.
Main Methods:
- This protocol outlines a Cochrane Review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials.
- The review will assess the effects of music-based interventions compared to usual care or other control conditions.
- Data will be extracted and analyzed to determine the efficacy of MBIs for the specified outcomes.
Main Results:
- Evidence synthesis is pending completion of the review.
- Anticipated analysis will quantify the effects of MBIs on key patient-reported outcomes.
- Potential benefits and harms of MBIs will be identified.
Conclusions:
- Music-based interventions represent a potential non-pharmacological approach to improve well-being in hemodialysis patients.
- Further research is warranted to confirm the efficacy and optimal application of MBIs in this population.
- Findings will inform clinical practice guidelines for complementary therapies in CKD care.
Abstract
Objectives:
This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the effects of music-based interventions on fatigue, blood pressure, depression, pain, anxiety, stress, QoL, and sleep quality in people with CKD receiving HD.

Renal failure occurs when the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood effectively. It can be classified into two types: acute renal failure (ARF) and chronic renal failure (CRF).
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...

01:22Heart Failure Drugs: Diuretics
298
Heart failure and kidney perfusion are interconnected in a complex way. Reduced renal perfusion and venous congestion are two significant factors that contribute to renal dysfunction in heart failure. The kidneys, primarily responsible for fluid balance in the body, are adversely affected due to compromised cardiac output and increased venous pressure. In response to reduced renal perfusion, the kidneys activate neurohumoral mechanisms to restore balance. However, these mechanisms can be...

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
38
In patients with renal impairment, drugs undergo significant changes in their pharmacokinetics, which require dosage adjustments to ensure safe and effective therapy.
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.

01:26Heart Failure Drugs: Inhibitors of Renin-Angiotensin System
329
The activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) contributes to cardiac remodeling, and inhibiting the RAAS is a pharmacological target in heart failure management. As a result, neurohumoral modulation is a crucial treatment principle for managing heart failure. This approach involves using medications like ACE inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), β-blockers, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), and neutral...

01:33Hormonal Regulation
32.7K
The renin-aldosterone system is an endocrine system which guides the renal absorption of water and electrolytes, thus managing blood pressure and osmoregulation. Activation of the system begins in the kidneys with a small cluster of cells adjacent to the afferent and efferent blood vessels of the renal corpuscle. As the nephrons are filtering blood, juxtaglomerular cells monitor blood pressure. If they detect a decrease in pressure, they release the hormone renin into the bloodstream.

01:17Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
36
Renal dysfunction significantly impairs the renal clearance of drugs, leading to potential complications in drug therapy. Renal failure, which can be caused by various factors, poses a significant challenge in the elimination of drugs from the body.
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
