This randomized controlled trial was designed to examine the effect of hand massage on the level of fatigue in patients receiving BT therapy.

When 12 patients were included in each group, it was determined that the power was 90% at the 5% Type I error level, and a total of 24 women with gynecological cancer were included in the study. The primary outcome of this study was the mean difference in fatigue scores between the groups following the three brachtherapy cycles hand intervention.
