Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Elimination of urinary retention completely. Timepoint: During the study and the probable time of urination from the start of magnetite therapy. Method of measurement: obsevation.;The degree of relaxation. Timepoint: Before placing the magnets and the time to remove them and one hour after removing them. Method of measurement: Orally asked based on visual numerical scale 0 to 10.;Nausea score. Timepoint: Before placing the magnets and the time to remove them and one hour after removing them. Method of measurement: Orally asked based on visual numerical scale 0 to 10.;Heart rate beat. Timepoint: Before placing the magnets and the time to remove them and one hour after removing them. Method of measurement: Digital monitor.;Average arterial blood pressure. Timepoint: Before placing the magnets and the time to remove them and one hour after removing them.
