The effect size of the study was calculated based on the mean pain scores and standard deviations of the control and experimental groups taken from the study conducted by Field, et al. (2002). Accordingly, when 25 patients were included in each group, it was determined that the power was 85% at 5% Type I error level. The application to the experimental group will be done 3 days a week for 10 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. data will be collected with patient information form, fatigue severity scale and vas.
