This study intends to irradiate the acupoints of both lower extremities of hemodialysis patients with far-infrared therapeutic apparatus to explore its effect on foot blood circulation, peripheral artery occlusion disease (PAOD) symptoms and ankle-brachial index (Ankle-Brachial Index, ABI) value.
After irradiating the lower extremity acupoints of hemodialysis patients with far-infrared rays, it is expected to improve the blood circulation of the lower extremities of hemodialysis patients, thereby improving the symptoms of indirect claudication and raising the ankle-brachial index to the normal range, and reducing the incidence of peripheral arterial disease in hemodialysis patients. The results of this study can provide an empirical reference for future clinical care.

| two groups before receiving far-infrared intervention (month 0)"change" is being assessed |
| To compare the "Edinburgh claudication questionnaire" and "ABI" before (month 0) receiving far-infrared lower extremity acupoint irradiation therapy and general clinical care | In this study, used the Chinese version of the "Edinburgh Claudication Questionnaire" as a screening test for "intermittent claudication symptoms"; This study intends to use ABI-type equipment for measurement. Because hemodialysis patients have the limitation that the arm on the side of the arteriovenous fistula can not measure blood pressure, the modification is as follows Calculation method: ABI of left foot = systolic pressure of left posterior tibia รท systolic pressure of brachial artery without arteriovenous fistula;ABI of right foot is also calculated in the same way | two groups before receiving far-infrared intervention (month 0)"change" is being assessed, |
