Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To determine the utilization of barley and parsley for managing urolithiasis among the Saudi Arabian population.
UNASSIGNED: This is a prospective cross-sectional survey-based study. The survey comprised questions about the use of barley, parsley, and other therapies for managing urolithiasis. A WhatsApp® message with the link to the study survey was sent out to family, friends, patients, and other acquaintances residing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).
UNASSIGNED: A total of 1014 respondents completed the survey, of which 44.8% indicated that they utilized barley, 38.3% stated that they used parsley, and 4.2% indicated that they utilized other non-medical remedies to treat or prevent kidney stones. In contrast, only 29.5% stated that they utilized potassium citrate and/or magnesium citrate, and only 14.4% indicated that they consumed greater amounts of water to treat or prevent kidney stones.
UNASSIGNED: Our study findings indicate that among the Saudi Arabian population, non-conventional therapies such as barley and parsley are more commonly utilized for managing urolithiasis rather than established therapies such as increasing water intake and the use of potassium-citrate/ magnesium-citrate. There is a need to conduct large-scale clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of barley, parsley, and other non-conventional therapies for treating urolithiasis.

摘要：
■确定利用大麦和欧芹来管理沙特阿拉伯人口中的尿石症。
■这是一项基于前瞻性横断面调查的研究。调查包括有关大麦使用的问题，欧芹,和其他治疗尿石症的疗法。带有研究调查链接的WhatsApp®消息已发送给家人，朋友,病人,和居住在沙特阿拉伯王国（KSA）的其他熟人。
■共有1014名受访者完成了调查，其中44.8%表示他们使用大麦，38.3％的人表示他们使用欧芹，4.2%的人表示他们使用其他非医疗药物来治疗或预防肾结石。相比之下,只有29.5%的人表示他们使用柠檬酸钾和/或柠檬酸镁，只有14.4%的人表示他们消耗了更多的水来治疗或预防肾结石。
■我们的研究结果表明，在沙特阿拉伯人口中，诸如大麦和欧芹等非常规疗法更常用于治疗尿石症,而不是诸如增加水摄入量和使用柠檬酸钾/柠檬酸镁等既定疗法.有必要进行大规模的临床研究,以评估大麦的疗效和安全性,欧芹,和其他治疗尿石症的非常规疗法。
