Neuropathic Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Reflexology Massage Applied to Diabetic Neuropathic Pain on Patients Quality of Life
Reflexology massage, applied by applying pressure to any point on the feet, is one of the most popular complementary treatments in the world. Given the negative impact of neuropathic pain on quality of life and the limited effectiveness of traditional medicines, it is important to investigate the effects of various complementary therapies available, including reflexology massage. Therefore, the study was planned as a prospective randomized controlled experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design aiming to investigate the effect of reflexology massage for neuropathic pain on pain intensity and quality of life in diabetic individuals.
Pressure will be applied to the relevant reflex areas of the foot based on the individual's pain area. In order to standardize the application, the procedure will start with the left foot and end with the right foot. Both feet will be massaged using petroleum jelly for 5 minutes of relaxation movements, 5 minutes of general foot massage and 5 minutes of standing and reflex area corresponding to the painful body area. 5 more minutes will be applied to the left foot in order to increase the endorphin secretion and reduce the pain by activating the parasympathetic system. Reflexology massage will be applied for a total of 35 minutes in one session. Each reflexology area will be stimulated 15 times, as less than 10 stimulation to a particular reflexology area does not produce any therapeutic effect and more than 20 stimulations will be excessive. A total of 3 follow-ups will be done throughout the study. In the follow-up sessions; Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), The Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS) , Neuropathic Pain Impact on Quality-of-Life questionnaire (NePIQoL) scales will be applied, foot assessment and SWMI test will be applied. The 1st follow-up will be done before any intervention in the 1st session, the 2nd follow-up will be done after the reflexology application in the 5th session, and the 3rd follow-up will be done after the reflexology application at the 10th session . There will be a break of at least one day between two sessions to relax the body and eliminate toxins. ;
