Description
Summary:Nowadays, treatment of paraproteinemic polyneuropathy is a fairly complex interdisciplinary process. The main method of therapy is still the use of chemotherapeutic drugs as means of pathogenetic treatment of the underlying disease. However, the use of chemotherapy with neurotoxicity can cause development of toxic polyneuropathy which increases neurological deficit. Any comprehensive neurorehabilitation program for patients with these forms of polyneuropathies have not been developed to date. The article presents data of clinical observations of 26 patients with paraproteinemic polyneuropathy which had undergone a course of neurorehabilitation treatment, both medical and nondrug technologies, including the methods of kinesiotherapy and physiotherapy.
