Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Acupressure

In the acupressure group, heart meridian 7th point (HT7), large intestine meridian 4th point, and pericardial meridian 6th point (PC6) will be applied. Tissue sensitivity will be reduced by heating and rubbing for about 20 seconds without direct pressure on the acupressure points, and the points will be ready for acupressure application. Subsequently, consecutive (breathing rhythm) compressions will be applied to the acupressure points determined by the researcher, without raising the finger, taking into account the pain threshold of the individual who is applied with the thumb, with 10 seconds of pressure for two seconds of relief Since the symmetry of the selected three different points will also be applied to the other extremity, a total of 18 minutes of compression will be applied to each point, provided that it is three minutes.
