A Narrative Review on Neurorehabilitation in India: Current Scenario, Unmet Needs, and the Road to the Future.
Review in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neurorehabilitation is crucial for improving function and participation after neurological disorders. In India, rising survival has increased rehabilitation needs, but services remain fragmented and unevenly distributed. The objective of this study was to summarize the current status of neurorehabilitation in India, including service delivery, access, workforce, technology use, and system-level challenges. Hence, a narrative review of the literature (2010-2025) from major databases and policy sources was synthesized thematically across predefined domains. It was found that there is a substantial unmet need for neurorehabilitation in India, with poor post-discharge continuity, underutilization (especially in rural areas), and workforce shortages. While structured inpatient rehabilitation improves outcomes, its reach is limited. Tele-neurorehabilitation and mHealth show promise but remain unevenly implemented. Key barriers include affordability, accessibility, and lack of standardized outcome measures. Thereafter, it was concluded that neurorehabilitation in India faces high demand but fragmented delivery and inequitable access. Strengthening care pathways, expanding and training the workforce, leveraging hybrid telerehabilitation models, and standardizing outcome measures are essential priorities.
