Methods:This was a randomised control study. The study was conducted in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, C.S.M.M.U., Lucknow. A total of 60 patients were interviewed using a pre-tested semi-structured schedule between 16 to 60 years of age, diagnosed study cases of traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) with neurological (both sensory & motor) impairment below thoracic (T12 level) with bladder & bowel involvement were included in the study. The duration of injury was more than 2 months, were divided randomly using random number table into 2 groups study group (received Yoga) (n=30) and control group (not received Yoga) (n=30) for 6 months. Patients were asked to come on 3rd and 6th month. Anthropometric measurements were also recorded. The paired t-test was used to compare the changes amongst follow-ups and unpaired t-test was used to compare between groups. The p-value<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: At the baseline both the groups were similar in anthropometric and clinical parameters The bladder function score was insignificantly lower (p>0.05) in study group (1.43±0.57) as compared to controls at the baseline (1.73±0.83) and it is increased to 3.13 (±0.78) in study group after 6 months of Yoga and became to 2.13 (±0.78) in control group. The change in bladder function score was significantly (p<0.0001) higher in study group as compared to s control group from baseline to 3 and 6 months. There was 54.3% increase in bladder function score from baseline to 6 months in study group which was 18.8% in control group. Conclusion: The finding of the study reveals that there is significant impact of Yoga in the management of Bladder among spinal cord injured patients.
