Admission and random access criteria were categorized into control and intervention groups. The data collection tool was a demographic questionnaire, a visual scale of pain assessment, and patient satisfaction questionnaire. In the intervention group, the location and severity of pain were determined by using the dummy shapes and visual instrument for pain assessment by the patient, and Reflexology for 20 minutes at reflex points and the patient's satisfaction form was completed. The results were analyzed with SPSS-24 software using satisfactory Results: The results showed a statistically significant difference between the mean scores of satisfaction of the studied units. In other words, a significant reduction in the severity of pain after ECT in patients with depression and patient satisfaction was significantly affected by pain control (P <0.001) Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it can be suggested that by incorporating a reflexive massage in the nursing plan to control the complications after medical treatment, it would increase patient satisfaction and their survival in the treatment program.
