The list of individuals was generated through online randomization generator. According to the list the participants were divided into both groups. N/A Peripheral neuropathy. Intervention 1: Intervention group: plantar massage. Plantar massage will be given through sensory brush for 3 days per week dor 3 weeks. The brush will be held horizontal to the plantar aspect of the foot. Brushing will be done slowly, never back and forth on the same spot, and with enough pressure to cause the brush's bristles to bend. The goal is to trigger the feet's pressure touch receptors rapidly. Participants will be informed that the therapy might "tickle." Massage will be given for 5 minutes on each foot. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Reflexology foot massage group. Three weeks of foot reflexology will be conducted, with two sessions each week lasting thirty minutes, 15 minutes for each foot.

Reflexology massage will be done according to the following application protocol: solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes, adrenal gland reflexes, the arm and shoulder reflexes, the spine reflexes, the hip, thigh and leg reflexes, the sciatic nerve reflexes, solar plexus and diaphragm reflexes. All of these are done for 7*2 on each foot.
