INTRODUCTION: @entity239 ( @entity239 ) is a multi-factorial disease involving physiological as well as psychological factors. The aim of the study was to investigate a multidisciplinary inpatient treatment with emphasis on @entity221 therapy by @entity1 with @entity158 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved 104 @entity1 suffering from severely progressive @entity239 . A convenience sample and a prospective cohort design were used. The @entity1 were treated in an acute hospital focusing on @entity158 . One @entity1 group was treated with inclusion of @entity221 therapy and the other group without. The therapy density (number of performed therapies per @entity1 ) was determined for every @entity1 . Functional capacity measured by the Hannover functional status questionnaire (Funktionsfragebogen Hannover) and symptoms (von Zerssen complaint list) were analyzed for both groups on admission and on discharge. RESULTS: On admission, no significant difference could be established between control group (CG; multimodal without @entity221 ) and @entity221 group (HG; multimodal with @entity221 ) (functional capacity, P=0.936). Functional capacity improved for the CG and the HG. On discharge, there was a significant difference between the two groups (functional capacity, P=0.039). There were no significant differences in @entity239 symptoms between CG (mean 41.8) and HG (mean 41.8) on their admission to hospital (P=0.988). On discharge, there was a significant difference (P=0.024) between the two groups (HG, mean 30.6; CG, mean 36.6). The inpatient therapy of @entity1 with severely progressive @entity239 is characterized by a high frequency of therapy input. CONCLUSION: @entity239 , especially with severe progression and a high degree of chronification, demands a multidisciplinary approach. In addition to the use of complementary medical procedures, integration of @entity221 in the treatment process is a useful option.
