About this study
Official title: A Common But Unknown Disease; A Case Series Study
The present study is a case series study, conducted to introduce a common disease of abdominal wall which has received less attention in scientific resources. The study population was all patients who following repeated hospital visits did not improve, and for their last try, they visited a traditional clinic, and were diagnosed with umbilical hernia.
Read the detailed description
Background: The present study is conducted to introduce a common disease of abdominal wall which has received less attention in scientific resources. In traditional medicine sources Some scholars believe that this condition occurs due to the movement of the abdominal muscle near the umbilicus or nave laterally movement of nave.
Design: A case series study Method: This study was a case series study. The study population was all patients who following repeated hospital visits did not improve, and for their last try, they visited a traditional clinic, and were diagnosed with umbilical hernia during a period of 5 months.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
complementary therapyOther
traditional techniques of treatment including, (a)cupping therapy, (b)Backstroke for young people, (c)Sitting on all fours while the other person holds both knees firmly with the hands, the patient is asked to bend at the back so that the abdominal muscles are stretched, (d)taking a nerve that passes under the armpit with two index fingers and thumbs and applying intense pressure to the extent that the patient goes unconscious due to the severity of the pain, (e)Hanging the patient from the horizontal bar and stretching the abdominal muscles, (f)Tie an onion-sized object such as, a bag of wheat or salt, with a scarf on the navel for one hour, (g) taking the gum of mountain pistachio tree which is the same as turpentine and halve a walnut and fill it with raw turpentine and put it inside the navel for 72 hours, and then move it in the umbilical region by twisting hand movements, (h)cupping therapy.
