Brief Summary

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal sensations, usually accompanied by pain and restlessness in the legs and/or any part of the body. Sleep quality disorders (10-20%) and limb movements during sleep are quite common in patients with RLS . These disorders in sleep quality are also common among patients receiving hemodialysis due to end-stage renal disease. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods are used in the treatment of RLS. Due to the varying success and side effects of pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological methods have come to the fore for these patients. One of the methods that can be applied as a non-pharmacological method is vibration. The therapeutic effect of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (EYYDM) is not clear, it is stated that it activates the muscles, fascia and tendon and improves pain clinically in studies. The aim of the study is to determine the most effective treatment method on pain and sleep quality by comparing the effects of vibration and EYYDM methods in dialysis patients with restless legs syndrome

Stroking ("stroking") movement will be performed on the soft tissue parallel to the muscle fibers on the origo and insertion lines. Vaseline will be preferred as an intermediate to increase the lubricity of the instrument. The frequency of patting and friction movements will be 60 repetitions per minute. Starting from the medial side of the gastrocnemius (calf) muscle in both legs and moving it longitudinally from distal to proximal and from back to distal in a straight line within 20 seconds, for 2.5 minutes. Then this treatment will be applied to the lateral side of the gastrocnemius muscle for 2.5 minutes.
