For female patients, the intervention will be done by a woman, and for male doctors, the intervention will be done by a man. The training course of massage technique and certification will be obtained.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The statistical population of this research consists of all patients referred to the hemodialysis department (170 people). The names of all patients are registered in the hemodialysis appointment schedule (hours/days/weeks/months) and can be accessed. All patients are coded (01 to 170), then using the random numbers table and moving in the first column from right to left and from top to bottom according to the determined sample size (up to 80 people), the research sample will be selected. If the selected patient does not want to participate in the study, the sample selection process will continue from the end point of the sample selection in the table until the completion of the research sample. Necessary information is provided to selected patients. After obtaining consent and agreement to participate in the study, random allocation of samples will be done using the envelope lottery method in the intervention group (40 people) and the control group (40 people).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
For the purpose of blinding, each patient and each group is assigned a code, and the evaluator uses the code assigned to the patients (without knowing whether the patient is in the intervention or control group) when the patients come for the fourth appointment (the number of times of routine hemodialysis It is recorded in the patients' files in the hemodialysis department) considering the general condition of the patients before hemodialysis or during the first hour of hemodialysis, the evaluator completes the research tools, scales and data collection, then leaves the department and There will be no further contact with patients. The fourth hemodialysis of the patients is also done within 3 to 4 hours (routine of the department). At the end, the patients are separated from the machine and receive the standard and common care of the department. Control group patients leave the ward. Patients in the intervention group are directed to a special room to receive exfoliation massage and vinegar solution (about 15 minutes) and then leave the ward. This process will be repeated after every three hemodialysis sessions until the end of the 12th hemodialysis session. It is necessary to explain that patients have 2 or 3 appointments per week at specific hours, depending on their physical conditions and so-called tolerance. The statistical analyst will also perform analyzes using the registered codes of the groups (without knowing whether the patient is in the intervention or control group).

Description
Intervention group: In addition to the routine and standard care of the intervention group, at the end of each hemodialysis session, the samples of the intervention group will receive exfoliation massage plus 0.3% diluted vinegar solution. The massage will be done on the back and legs (common areas of itching), which includes three back massages (full back massage, horizontal full back massage, sliding thumbs on the spine muscles) each step 15 times and a total of about 6 minutes and massage The front of the leg (legs and thighs) for 4 minutes, that is, two minutes for each leg, and the back of the leg (the back of the leg and thighs) for 4 minutes, that is, two minutes for each leg (20 repetitions for each) on the patient and in total It takes 14 minutes.
