Abstract

Objective: To analyze the evidence of treatment with electroacupuncture in women with stress urinary incontinence. Methods: Integrative bibliographic review using scientific articles indexed in the MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and PUBMED databases through the descriptors: "eletroacupuncture" and "stress urinary incontinence" in the Health Sciences Descriptors and the Boolean operator AND. The articles obtained were those published between 2009 and 2019. The study was carried out from May to June 2019. Results: A complete of 20 articles were found in the databases, leaving 5 articles for full reading, including only 3 that were related direct with the theme. It was found that the treatment of urinary incontinence with electroacupuncture seems to be valid, especially in cases with less urine loss. However, with few studies, an acupuncture point protocol as well as electroacupuncture parameters is not well defined.
