The main aspects of early rehabilitation of traumatic brain disease are highlighted, the experience of using photochromotherapy using narrow-band LED radiation with a wavelength of 540 ± 20 nm in the department of neurorehabilitation on the JSC “National Centre for Neurosurgery” is presented. Purpose of the study. Study of the possibility of using narrow-band LED radiation with a wavelength of 540 nm in the early rehabilitation of patients who have undergone TBI with further comparative analysis of treatment outcomes and quality of life in patients with this nosology. Methods. The neurological study included a quantitative assessment of impairments in the level of consciousness according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), an assessment of the vegetative status according to the Kerdo index (VIC), data from the diagnostic neurosurgical complex (computer - CT and magnetic resonance imaging - MRI), electroencephalography data and biochemical blood tests. . TBI outcomes were assessed using the Glasgow Outcome Scale. Conclusions. The use of photochromotherapy using LED radiation with a wavelength of 540 ± 20 nm allows creating the most adequate conditions for the favorable course of compensatory-regenerative mechanisms in the brain by restoring disturbed autoregulation of cerebral circulation, reducing the severity of edema-swelling of the brain, improving blood circulation.

Introduction. Lower back Pain (LBP) – is the most common pain syndrome and is an actually social and therefore economic problem. Objective: To compare and describe conservative and interventional treatments for chronic low back pain. Materials and methods. We examined 20 patients with chronic pain syndrome in the lumbar spine against the background of degenerative diseases of the spine, who were treated from 2016 to 2018. A retrospective case analysis was carried out and two groups of patients were formed. The main study group consisted of patients who underwent interventional interventions - radiofrequency ablation of the nerves of the facet joints. The control group consisted of patients who received only conservative treatment. Conclusion. Low back pain is a very common cause of decreased limited activity and affects 45% of people. The dynamics of pain reduction in patients with radiofrequency intervention is significantly (p <0.05) shorter than in patients who received only conservative treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research objective. Evaluation of results of a comprehensive rehabilitation treatment of dorsopathy in elderly patients, with a further analysis of treatment outcomes and quality of life of patients of this nosology. Materials and methods. This paper presents results of a comprehensive treatment of 102 patients with dorsopathy who were undergoing rehabilitation treatment from January 2018 to August 2019. Results. An analysis of procedures showed that magnetotherapy and laser therapy are most preferred, since these types of physiotherapy have fewer side effects and have a softer and more local effect for elderly patients. An analysis of results of treatment showed that in dynamics of improvement of state in form of a decrease of pain, increased tolerance to physical activity, occurs in most cases on 5-7th day. The level of household activity was assessed according to the Barthel scale at admission (average score was 55 ± 5), as well as at patient discharge (average score was 70 ± 5). Conclusion. Addressing safety of use of physical factors in rehabilitation of elderly patients with dorsopathy will make it possible to use arsenal of natural and preformed physical factors in geriatric practice more fully and reduce risk of complications.

The paper highlights main issues of restorative treatment of patients with stroke. Article devotes attention to main neurological syndromes which demand conduction of rehabilitation measures. It distinguishes four main periods of post-stroke states and main issues of rehabilitation measures during critical period. Article describes most prioritized methods of rehabilitation at critical period of stroke and fundamental factors of rehabilitation potential of patients. Outcomes of care among patients which were exposed to early comprehensive restorative treatment were analyzed. It is noticed that patients at early restorative period have higher level of recovery of lost functions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
