      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: It is accessible (simple) and goal-oriented. All patients who meet the conditions for entering the study are examined. Random Allocation of Samples will be done using Excel Software. Finally, People will be divided into 3 Groups: Verum Intervention (30 people), Sham Intervention (30 people) and Routine Care (30 people), Blinding description: The Research Unit will be Randomly assigned to 3 Groups: Verum Intervention, Sham Intervention and Routine Care Using Excel Software. The Verum and Sham Intervention Groups will be Fully Explained about the Objectives of the Research and not only about the Existence of the Routine Care Group, but also about the Fact that they may be Randomly Placed in one of the Two Verum Intervention Groups. The Sham Intervention is Similar to the Verum Intervention in every way, Including the Place, Time, Technique and Frequency of the Intervention, and the only Difference is in the Amount of Pressure Applied and thus Blinding.
It is done because they do not know Exactly the Type of Intervention. One of the Limitations of the Research is the Detailed Explanation of the Objectives of the Research to the Routine Care Group. The Explanation to this Group is that the Study will be conducted with the Aim of Investigating the Severity of Postpartum Pain, and it is tried to Separate the Room of the Routine Care Group from the other Two Groups. Also, the Clinical Caregivers (Nurses and Midwives of the Post-Partum Department) and Gynecologists of the Center know about the Objectives of the Research, but they do not know the Type of Intervention Received by each Research Unit, in Fact, they do not know which Intervention each Person received.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group:Verum reflexology group in each hand, first, 3 minutes of massage, then the real reflection of the thumb and the researcher reflects the pressure snake in the heart reflection and the solar network and pressure with the Mole technique in the pituitary and uterine reflexion area, the pressure rate in the reflection areas is so high that the research unit does not feel pain and not in the third third of the thumb. The reflection time in each refrigerator area is 2 minutes, and in the past 9 minutes of intervention time for the right hand (the heart reflection area only in the left hand) and 11 minutes of intervention time for the left hand. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Sham reflexology group in each hand, first, 3 minutes of massage, then the reflection of the shaped by the thumb and the researcher referring, the pressure of the snake in the reflective and distribution of the solar and the solar network, and the high-end system with the Mole technique in the pituitary and uterine reflexent region, the rate of pressure in reflective areas is so high that it does not create a color in the upper third thumb. The duration of the reflection of the sham in each refrigerator area is 2 minutes, and in the past 9 minutes of intervention time for the right hand (the heart reflection area only in the left hand) and 11 minutes of intervention time for the left hand. Intervention 3: Control group: The routine care group receives only routine care after delivery.</i_freetext>
