Abstract
Post-operative cognitive and psychological deficits are common in TLE patients. Despite their potential, MBCT and CR have not been extensively studied in this population. This study investigates the effectiveness of MBCT and CR in improving cognition and psychological functioning in post-operative TLE patients, addressing a critical need in clinical practice. This study was a hospital based study and was  conducted between groups, pre- post research design. Patients with TLE (n=18) were collected. The Neuropsychology Battery and DASS Scale were used to find out the cognitive and psychosocial functions. The neuropsychological and psychosocial  functions were assessed before the surgery, after 3 weeks of post-surgery, introducing MBCT and CR on post-operative TLE patients. Patients with TLE were compared with Pre & Post-operative and Post & MBCT neuropsychological and psychosocial functioning to find out the effect. Changes were revealed in sustained attention, mental flexibility, delayed recall and depression. Introducing the MBCT with CR suggested that all functions are improved except visual delayed recall.
