Abstract EN

M-Test can simultaneously reduce hemodialysis patients’ diverse symptoms.

Its diagnosis and treatment are based on simple movements that can be performed by anyone and allow determining which meridians have problems by analyzing symptoms accompanied with movement.

It also enables to conduct a safe and effective treatment with use of microcorn which is a noninvasive treatment tool.

This time we conducted microcorn intervention on hemodialysis patients based on diagnosis of M-Test.

As a result, almost all of the dialysis patients’ complaints have been relieved while the score of HR-QOL increased.

According to our calculation of cost effectiveness, it confirmed that it is very cost-effective.
