Age 18 above, had a negative cold provocation test, a single successful fistula cannulation attempt, and analgesics or sedatives are not used within 6 hours before hemodialysis will be included. Ice therapy will be applied on the huge point of the contralateral arm for 10 minutes before fistula cannulation and 2 minutes after conutinue then assess the pain by using the pain rating scale.
