Objectives and lines of research
Lines of research
Since 2021, our main lines of research have been the following:
Comprehensive rehabilitation of patients with acquired brain injury, focusing on the treatment of pain and spasticity using techniques such as botulinum toxin type A injections.
Pain management in osteoarticular pathologies using various interventional techniques such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and radiofrequency ablation.
Intervention in the cardiac rehabilitation processes of patients with a wide range of pathologies: ischemic heart disease, valvular heart disease, aortic stenosis, etc.
Oncological rehabilitation. We currently have several initiatives underway in this area: prevention of cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, a breast cancer education program for all patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery, and a lymphedema unit.
