Summary

Patients with MS use non-pharmacological methods as well as pharmacological methods in the treatment of their symptoms. Acupuncture, acupressure, aquatherapy, reflexology and aromatherapy are also complementary and integrated methods frequently used in patients with MS. Integrated methods, which have an important place in independent nursing practices, have been preferred in nursing practices in recent years due to their safety, ease of application and minimal side effects. In addition, acupressure application is included in the Nursing Interventions Classification, and is a method that increases the independent functions of the nurse and improves patient-nurse interaction.
