Urine retention in elderly male due to hypo-contractile bladder treated successfully through Ayurveda - A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Urine retention is a common problem in elderly people. In male it is often associated with prostatic hypertrophy and can also be associated with hypo contractile bladder. Such functional disorders of bladder do not respond well to conventional medicine and the only respite is given by catheterization either in situ or intermittent as per the requirement. Besides social stigma, catheterization has its own accompanying problems leading to its poor acceptance. Newer approaches like electrical stimulation, Sacral neuro-modulation and stem cell therapy for this clinical condition are still in the process of development. Ayurveda earlier has reported to have successfully treated such cases to the extent of complete recovery. We present here a case of 83 year old male who was not able to pass the urine due to bladder hypo contractility and was on self-retaining catheter for about 2 years, got clinically cured with the help of Ayurveda interventions taken for about a year. A follow up of the case was done for another two years to find him well without any medication. This case endorses the worth of Ayurveda interventions in such cases and warrants a serious enquiry about such interventions to generate more robust evidences.
