[Sensory-pain adaptation in clinical neurology].

The article presents quantitative (temporal) and qualitative (phenomenological) characteristics of sensory-painful adaptation in clinically healthy subjects of various age and in patients with neuroses and organic lesions of different levels and of variable genesis. It has been ascertained that investigation of sensory-painful adaptation may be of a certain diagnostic significance.

[An attempt to prognosticate the rehabilitation of patients who have sustained closed brain injury].

The authors studied at the early and remote stages of the disease the adaptational function of analyzers (visual, acoustic, olfactory) and constructive practical actions in 82 patients who had suffered from closed brain traumas in peace-time. The same studies were conducted in 59 patients with remote sequealae of brain injuries during the wartime (barotraumas) for comparison. The authors compared the results of the studies on patients with different outcomes of rehabilitation and different kinds of brain injury and depicted some indices and manifestations unfavourable or relatively favourable for a social and occupational prognosis.
