      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: In this group, according to the protocol, reflexology massage is performed in three weeks (once a week) for 5 minutes on the sole of the left foot in the area of the solar plexus. After the intervention, the arterial needle is inserted into the vessels near the fistula site and after one minute after being fixed, the pain intensity is measured. Intervention 2: Intervention group 2: In this group, according to the protocol, massage is performed for 5 minutes at the opposite point of the solar plexus area on the back of the foot. Intervention 3: Control group: No treatment is done and only routine treatment is done. It is only for comparison with the intervention group.</i_freetext>
