| Objective: To explore the feasibility and safety of early rehabilitation intervention on patients after refractory epilepsy surgery. Methods: Retrospective method was applied in this study. Forty rehabilitation cases of epilepsy surgery were collected as observation group, and 40 epilepsy patients after surgery without rehabilitation as control group. All data including vital signs, surgical wound and pain, epileptic seizure, and rehabilitation efficacy were summarized and compared between two groups. Rehabilitation intervention time in rehabilitation group was analyzed alone. Results: After treatment for 7 days, there were no significant differences between two group in the vital signs. The rate of wound un-healing with pain and rate of epileptic seizures in both groups were declined obviously (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between two groups. After treatment for 10 days,the motor,speech,and cognition function scores in both groups were increased as compared with pretreatment (P<0.05), more significantly of motor score in observation group than in control group (P<0.05). The patients with rehabilitation intervention time of 14 days accounted for 85.0%. Conclusion: Rehabilitation treatment in the earlier stage after epilepsy surgery is safe for patients. The start-up time is appropriate in two weeks. |
