Study aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of using a cooler dialysate temperature (35.5°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, compared to the standard dialysate temperature (37°C). Hemodialysis is a critical life-saving procedure, but complications such as intradialytic hypotension can lead to session interruptions and increased morbidity and mortality. This study is the first, to our knowledge, to specifically examine the benefits of cooler dialysate in a hypotensive ESRD population, with the goal of improving hemodynamic stability during dialysis sessions. Design: Parallel group, double blind, randomised controlled trial Settings and conduct: Conducted in a tertiary care hospital, the study ensures blinding of participants, healthcare providers, data collectors, and outcome assessors through concealed temperature settings. The design aims to minimize bias and assess the impact of cooler dialysate on intradialytic hypotension Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Patients from both genders between 18 and 60 years old who were on twice weekly HD and had hypotension were included. Patients with thyroid disease, anaemia, and taking anti-hypertensive medications were excluded. Intervention groups: Cooler dialysate temperature (35.5°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis, compared to the standard dialysate temperature (37°C). Main outcome variables: This double-blind, randomized trial assesses the impact of cooler dialysate (35.5°C) versus standard dialysate (37°C) on hemodynamic stability in hypotensive ESRD patients during hemodialysis.

Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria: The participants having age 18 to 30 years with mild to moderate temporomandibular joint dysfunction according to fonseca questionnaire and mild to moderate pain levels on numeric pain rating scale with restricted mouth opening were included in the study. the subjects with the history of any recent surgery, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hypermobility, severe osteoporosis, unhealed fracture of mandible and advanced diabetes were excluded. Intervention groups: There were two interventional groups named as group A (Rocabado exercises) and group B (Myofascial release technique). The participants of group A received a set of six exercises named as Rocabado exercises as a treatment.
