Using Sealed Envelope Ltd software. 2017 available through the website www.sealedenvelope.com 4 blocks of 4 and 5 blocks of 8, a total of 9 blocks were defined, which will be assigned to groups based on the order specified by the mentioned tool, Blinding description: The participants are unaware of the nature of the seeds attached to their ears. N/A Cognitive failure. Intervention 1: Intervention group: In the intervention group, researcher seed vaccaria Mark ZHONG YANG, made in China, will stick the 7 points related to cognitive function, including: Shen Men, zero point, hippocampus, main brain point, brain and memory 1 and 2 and to the unit The research (nurse) will be taught to press the points using the thumb and forefinger for six weeks, five days a week and three times a day, and each time each point for one minute. It should be noted that during the 6 weeks of the intervention, Vaccaria seeds will be stuck by the researcher alternately on both ears every week, after cleaning the skin with alcohol cotton. seeds will be placed on the ear five days a week and the patient will be asked to remove the adhesives at the end of the fifth day to prevent possible allergic reaction. The patient will be instructed to contact the researcher in case the adhesives are separated during the five-day period so that the researcher will re-attach the adhesives in the agreed place. During the intervention, a daily note sheet will be provided to the nurse every week, in which the number of times of pressure and the duration of pressure to all points each time, the occurrence of allergic reactions and the start of new medication will be determined. During the intervention period, every week all the participants will be visited at the agreed place and new stickers will be attached to them, and a daily note sheet will be given to them and another sheet will be given to them for the next week. If in the intervention group, the average duration of pressure on all points during each week of the intervention is less than 14 minutes per day, that person will be excluded from the study. Sticking the seeds will continue for 6 weeks and the samples will be followed up 4 weeks after the end of the intervention. Occupational cognitive impairment questionnaire will be completed by the samples at the beginning of the study, after the end of the intervention and 4 weeks after the end of the intervention. At the time of sampling, the workplace address and phone number of the samples were recorded, and during the intervention period, at the end of each week, also in order to follow up 4 weeks after the end of the intervention, by phone regarding the time and place of the visit and if necessary Transportation will be coordinated with him. Intervention 2: Control group: In the control group, adhesives will be applied to the points of shen men, zero point, hippocampus, main brain point, brain and memory 1 and 2, but without seeds and no pressure will be applied on them. It should be noted that during the 6 weeks of the intervention, in the control group, non-seeds adhesives will be applied alternately on both ears by the researcher every week after cleaning the skin with alcohol cotton. Seeds will be placed on the ear five days a week and the patient will be asked to remove the adhesives at the end of the fifth day to prevent possible allergic reaction. The patient will be instructed to contact the researcher in case the adhesives are separated during the five-day period so that the researcher will re-attach the adhesives in the agreed place.
