Acupressure Group
In the acupressure group, acupressure will be applied to the heart meridian 7th point (HT7), large intestine meridian 4th point (LI4), stomach meridian 36th point (ST36) and spleen meridian 6th point (SP6). After pressing each point for a certain period of time, a total of two minutes of rest periods will be applied by the researcher.
Sham Acupressure Group
In the sham acupressure group, acupressure will be applied on the bone region where the meridians do not pass, approximately 1-1.5 cm away from the HT7, LI4, ST36, SP6 points. The application process will continue in the same way with acupressure group and the pressure intensity will be less.
