Randomization description
In this clinical trial study, 60 patients with complications related to urinary incontinence will be included in the study. For random allocation of individuals in the study groups (intervention group and comparison group), the method of random allocation with block method (Block Randomization) will be used. In this method, blocks with a size of six (including three people in the intervention group and three people in the comparison group) with a ratio of 1:1 will be used. Random Allocation software will be used to generate random sequences. The random allocation concealment method is used in such a way that random sequences are created. In this method, they are identified on the cards and these cards are placed inside the sealed envelopes in order. In order to maintain the created sequence, the numbering will be recorded on the outer surface of the envelopes. Finally, the numbered envelopes will be placed in a folder. Then, according to the order of entry of the eligible participants, the envelopes will be opened and the assigned group of the participant will be determined.

Intervention groups

1

Description
People in the first group are treated with electroacupuncture for 5 sessions for 20 minutes. During this period, patients are subjected to continuous stimulation for 10 minutes and pulsed stimulation for 10 minutes via an acupuncture needle. 4 needles are placed at the same distance from the ASIS area to the tubercle pubic area. The needles are spaced from the pulse of the artery. At the end of each treatment session, all members of this group are treated with pelvic floor kinesiotype. Pelvic floor typing is from pubic tubercle to ASIS, which is without tension on both sides and 50% in the middle with tension. All patients were instructed in how to care for the kinesiotype, and did not separate the kinesiotype until the next treatment session.
