COMPREHENSIVE REHABILITATION THERAPY AFTER GLIOMA RESECTION

Abstract

The study conducted at Samarkand State Medical University focused on the effectiveness of early postoperative rehabilitation in patients after surgical removal of supratentorial gliomas. A total of 127 patients aged 16–74 years participated in the study. The comprehensive rehabilitation program included pharmacotherapy, physiotherapy, low-intensity laser therapy, electromyostimulation, anticholinesterase treatment, and psychological support. Early activation of patients from the first postoperative day contributed to the regression of focal neurological symptoms, improved motor and speech functions, and increased quality of life according to the Karnofsky Performance Scale. The use of low-intensity laser irradiation (870 nm, 8 W) and electromyostimulation significantly accelerated functional recovery and reduced rehabilitation time. The developed system of stepwise neurorehabilitation proved to be an effective continuation of surgical treatment, aimed at restoring neurological function and improving the functional and social quality of life of patients after glioma resection.
