General magnetic therapy and electrostatic field after radical surgical treatment of breast cancer at the 1st stage of medical rehabilitation

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Various methods of physical therapy have been proposed for the rehabilitation of patients with breast cancer. However, a staged approach to prescribing physiotherapeutic factors in the early period after surgical treatment of breast cancer has not been developed enough. AIMS: to develop a staged approach to the appointment of physiotherapeutic factors at different times after surgical treatment of breast cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Examination and treatment of 64 patients aged 30 to 70 years after surgical treatment for breast cancer were carried out. All patients underwent medical rehabilitation: individual exercise therapy, balanstherapy, sessions with a medical psychologist, course exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field and general magnetotherapy. The main group consisted of 33 patients who underwent a 2-stage course of medical rehabilitation: the 1st course on days 24 after the operation and the 2nd course after 11.5 months against the background of adjuvant radiation therapy. The control group 31 women, underwent physiotherapy placebo procedures. RESULTS: I was found that two-stage physical rehabilitation improves the quality of life, reduces swelling, increases the range of motion, decreases pain, decreases the number of postoperative complications, and shortens the duration of lymphorrhea. CONCLUSION: The inclusion of exposure to an alternating low-frequency electrostatic field and general magnetotherapy in the early stages (24 days) and 11.5 months after surgical treatment has broad functionality and allows you to obtain a pronounced functional and stable clinical result.
