Abstract
Pathological post-anesthetic changes can be determined by the type and duration of anesthesia, the somatic and neurological status of the patient in the preoperative period, age, etc.
Objective: to assess the severity of cognitive (CI), emotional and motor impairments in patients who underwent spinal surgery.
Patients and methods. The clinical study included 60 patients aged 30-74 years who underwent spinal surgery under general anesthesia. The neuropsychological, emotional, somatic, and neurological status were assessed at the baseline and one week, 3, and 6 months after the surgery. Thirty patients underwent a course of cognitive training (main group), and 30 patients were included in a comparison group.
Results and discussion. In the postoperative period, pain indicators decreased in both groups. There was an improvement in cognitive functions, emotional state, and quality of life (QoL) in the main group 3 and 6 months after surgery. The inclusion of cognitive training in the rehabilitation program for patients undergoing neurosurgical spinal surgery improved cognitive and motor functions and the QoL of patients. Evaluation and treatment of neurosurgical patients are discussed, which are helpful to improve the results of rehabilitation and QoL in the postoperative period.
Conclusion. Additional positive impact of cognitive-motor training for pain regression in patients after spinal surgery was observed.
