      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Block randomization method is used for randomization. In this way, ten blocks of six are used. In each block, there are three people in the control group and three people in the case group. In order for the random allocation process to be done correctly, a person who is not participating in the study forms the blocks using the website https://www.Randomization.com, in other words, the central randomization method is used. Every time the researcher found a patient who met the conditions to enter the study. He contacts the person responsible for random allocation and asks whether the patient is in the control group or the control group, and this continues until the samples are completed, Blinding description: In this study, TENS device is connected to both case and control groups, however, it is active in the case group and inactive in the control group. The person who fills in the questionnaire and records the outcomes, the person who performs the analysis, are blind to the membership of participants.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: Use of coupled TENS and pethidine and diclofenac suppositories to reduce pain in cesarean section patients. The method of administering pethidine 50 mg intramuscularly after the patient enters the ward and the method of administering diclofenac 1 tablet at least every 8 hours on the first and second day if the patient needs it. In this group, four TENS pads (HM-1000, made in South Korea) are placed, two in the lower abdomen and two in the waist area. TENS is set with a frequency of 80 Hz, with an intensity of 0 to 80 (according to the patient's wish) and the frequency will be 100 Hz. TENS will remain connected for up to 24 hours. Intervention 2: Control group:  Control group: Use of unbound TENS (placebo) and pethidine and diclofenac suppository to reduce pain in People who have undergone cesarean section. The method of administering pethidine is 50 mg intramuscularly after the patient enters the ward and the method of administering diclofenac is 1 tablet at least every 8 hours on the first and second day if the patient needs it. In this group, four TENS pads (HM-1000, made in South Korea) are placed two in the lower abdomen and two in the waist area, but the connection wire between the pad and the device is not conected. TENS will remain connected for up to 24 hours.</i_freetext>
