      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: In this group, acupressure intervention is taught to patients on 5 specific points around the knee and patients are asked to take interventions every day on the trained points. The assessment will be performed on the start of the study and 4 weeks after the start and 8 weeks after the start of the study. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Intervention group training is also given to this group, with the difference that the acupressure points are introduced and trained by a 1 cm difference. Intervention 3: Control group: This group is without training and in the same conditions as before entering this study.</i_freetext>
