Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the effect of Su Jok therapy, a complementary medicine practice, on urinary incontinence and quality of life among postmenopausal women. A total of 120 participants will be included in the study, with 60 in the intervention group and 60 in the control group. Participants in the intervention group will receive Su Jok seed therapy applied to the hand reflex points corresponding to the bladder. The therapy will be administered by the researcher and then taught to the participants, who will continue the application for 15 days. Assessments will be conducted at baseline, day 15, and day 30 using validated questionnaires.
