Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain: To measure the pain of patients, a 100 mm long ruler known as Visual Analogue Scale will be used, with the word "no pain" at one end and the word "maximum pain" at the other end. In this study, people who have pain of at least 30 will be included in the study. Timepoint: Before the start of the intervention, after the 6th intervention session and one month after the last intervention session. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.	—
