Background- Psychosomatic concept (Manodaihika Siddhanta), Dharaniya Vega (urges to be suppressed or controlled) and Sattvavajay Chikitsa (psychotherapy) are concepts of Ayurveda which are the core of this study. Psychosomatic concept is an inter-relationship of Mind (Manas) and body (Sharira). The diseases evolving due to mind-body interaction are termed as psychosomatic diseases.^[1] Vega means the natural urges of the body and mind. Dharaniya Vega are the suppressible or controllable urges which are not only confined to psychological attribute but also to verbal and physical attributes.^[2] Some diseases or their subtypes in Ayurveda are nomenclatured based on suppressible urges like Shokaja Atisara (diarrhea due to grief), Bhayaja Atisara (diarrhea due to fear), Kamaj Jwara (fever due to passion), etc.^[3,4]Sattvavajay Chikitsa given in Charak Samhita is a psychotherapy which literary means controlling the mind from unhealthy actions which has been developed as a counselling tool.

Conclusion- The study will provide clinical evidence that will establish, the role of Dharaniya Vega in remedial or prevention of psychosomatic diseases and the role of Sattvavajay chikitsa in Dharaniya Vega.

Background & objectives: Mechanical low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder causing
back pain in lower thoracic and lumber region. A weak core is believed to cause alterations in the transfer
of energy, resulting in reduced ADLs. Hence it is very necessary to keep your core muscles strong. The objective of this study was
to nd the effectiveness of core strengthening exercises training on pain and exibility in patients with mechanical low back
pain. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the subjects were selected in the study. Assessment Methods: of the
participants was done which included Basic Demographics, History of injury, Basic Anthropometry (Height, Weight and BMI),
History of the condition. Core muscle strength was assessed by exor endurance test, side bridge test and extensor endurance
test followed by assessment of pain by visual analogue scale (VAS and JOA back pain evaluation questionnaire (JOABPEQ).
Flexibility was assessed by sit and reach test. This was the pre assessment information and documented for all the participants.
After 6 weeks of core stability training post assessment was done by using same assessment tests. Results: Core stability
training plays a vital role in decreasing pain and improving exibility in patients with mechanical low back pain. Result of the
present study showed statistically signicant difference between pre and post intervention. Interpretation & conclusions:
Core stability training is effective in decreasing pain and improving exibility in patients with mechanical low back pain.

PSYCHOGENIC URINARY RETENTION (PUR) AND PERSISTENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER (PDD) A CASE REPORT IN SAUDI ARABIA

Yasir Awadh S. Altuwairqi — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I report this unusual case in Saudi Arabia of a 26-year-old man who had a psychogenic urinary retention
associated with persistent depressive disorder for the previous six years. He had symptoms of inadequate
voiding stream and urine retention. After receiving the patient's medical clearance, a psychotherapy intervention was initiated.
His urinary issue lingered as his mental disorder improved. This report uncovers such a case in our society and highlights the
importance of body-mind interaction and consequently, the need for a biopsychosocial approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Further research on this issue is still necessary, as is the use of efcient therapy.
