简要总结
Defecation is an important daily activity with important psychological and social significance for humans. Constipation is infrequent bowel movements or difficult passage of stools that persists for several days or weeks. It is an obstruction of the excretory process and affects 12- 19 % of the general adult population, making it a family issue. Hydrotherapy is an effective treatment for constipation.
This study explores the efficacy of cold compress on constipation. Patients who come to theMaharishi Aurobindo Subharti College and Hospital of Naturopathy & Yogic Sciences OPD will be diagnosed for constipation and cold compress will be given in the prescribed format. Patient self-report about their symptoms will be screened for the study.
COLD COMPRESS: The water temperature is 55° - 70° C. A cotton cloth is then dipped and squeezed. It is applied over the abdomen for 3 to 30 seconds. The compress should always cover an area larger than the part to be influenced.
