The restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This syndrome causes individual's disturbed rest, discomfort, and stress, and secondarily to weakened functioning and disturbance in occupational activities and familial life. The present study aimed at investigate the effect of vibration on the severity of the manifestation of symptoms of RLS in hemodialysis patients. This is an interventional before-after study conducted on 80 patients with RLS in hemodialysis wards of Yazd hospitals. The samples were selected randomly and intervention was performed on the patients as vibration for 10 minutes three times per week during 4 succeeding weeks. The questionnaire of severity of RLS was completed before the study and at the last day of intervention before and after vibration. The data were analyzed with SPSS 23 using descriptive statistics and paired t test (<0.05). Our findings showed that most patients were at the moderate level of severity of symptoms before (68.8%) and after (78.8%) intervention and there was a significant difference in the mean score of RLS between before (18.99) and after (12.82) intervention (=0.001). Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that vibration decreases the severity of symptoms of RLS in hemodialysis patients. Hence, it is recommended that vibration be used as a cost-effective and safe procedure to improve the symptoms of RLS in this group of patients.
不安腿综合征（RLS）是接受血液透析患者的一种神经紊乱疾病。该综合征导致个体休息受扰、不适和压力，继而导致职业活动和家庭生活功能减弱及紊乱。本研究旨在调查振动对血液透析患者不安腿综合征症状表现严重程度的影响。这是一项在亚兹德医院血液透析病房对80例不安腿综合征患者进行的前后对照干预研究。样本随机选取，对患者进行的干预是在连续4周内每周3次、每次振动10分钟。在研究前以及振动前后干预的最后一天完成不安腿综合征严重程度问卷。使用SPSS 23软件进行描述性统计和配对t检验（<0.05）分析数据。我们的研究结果显示，大多数患者在干预前（68.8%）和干预后（78.8%）症状严重程度处于中等水平，干预前（18.99）和干预后（12.82）不安腿综合征平均得分存在显著差异（=0.001）。基于本研究结果，可以得出结论，振动可降低血液透析患者不安腿综合征的症状严重程度。因此，建议将振动作为一种经济有效且安全的方法来改善该组患者的不安腿综合征症状。
