Many methods such as drug therapy and feedback have been used to treat urinary incontinency. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the effect of medication, biofeedback or biofeedback plus medication on urge-urinary incontinency and quality of life of patients. Methods: This was a case-control randomized clinical trial performed on patients referred to Imam Khomeini hospital in 2014. Patients were divided into three groups of drug (Tolterodine), biofeedback, and biofeedback plus drug. Biofeedback group underwent two sessions of treatment weekly for four weeks, and the drug group received tolterodine (4 mg slow release) for four weeks. The third group received both of them.

Between the groups, drug therapy had the most effect on improving the total score of the questionnaire, with a
