Manual or mechanical cervical traction appears to be a major contribution in the rehabilitation of CR particularly if it is included in a multimodal approach of rehabilitation.

The G2677T T and C3435T T alleles as well as the TT, CTT and TTT haplotypes seemed to be significantly associated with drug-resistance epilepsy in our population. Genetic predisposition, involved in this resistance, may contribute to the establishment of a personal optimized therapy for newly diagnosed epileptic patients.

Our results suggest that a home-based rehabilitation programme is as effective as standard physical therapy. However, this type of programme requires patient motivation and regular follow-up.
