Background. Neurosurgical pathology of the brain is an urgent problem of modern medicine. Existing models of cognitive rehabilitation are based on neuropsychological correction. The literature does not contain enough information about the effect of medical and physiotherapeutic techniques on higher nervous activity.Objective. To assess the effect of neurorehabilitation in cognitive impairment in patients with neurosurgical brain pathology.Design and methods. The dynamics of cognitive impairment was studied in 165 neurosurgical patients (72 men, 93 women, average age 52.82 ± 14.79 years) at the second stage of rehabilitation. The severity of the deficit of higher cortical functions was assessed upon admission and after 30 days in the rehabilitation department. Roschina test, MMSE, FAB, HDRS were used to detect depression.Results. When analyzing the dynamics of indicators for scoring higher cortical functions, it was found that in all groups of patients, cognitive rehabilitation led to positive results.Conclusion. The combined use of neuropsychological, medical and physiotherapeutic techniques can significantly improve the results of rehabilitation treatment.
