To Investigate the Effect of Far-infrared Radiation on Lower Extremity Acupoints on the Blood Circulation of Lower Extremities in Patients With Hemodialysis
Peripheral Arterial Disease
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Peripheral Arterial Disease focused on measuring hemodialysis, peripheral arterial occlusion disease, far-infrared radiation, lower extremity acupoints, ankle-brachial index, Edinburgh claudication questionnair
