Introduction. Medical and psychological rehabilitation of patients with anxiety (neuropsychic tension) is one of the promising areas of modern physical and rehabilitation medicine. The scientometric search for the most effective restoration technologies that form the basis of the MPR complex is relevant.

Aim. The aim is to analyze evidence-based studies of rehabilitation technologies in medical and psychological rehabilitation programs for patients with anxiety.

Materials and methods. A scientometric analysis of rehabilitation technologies used in medical and psychological rehabilitation programs for patients with anxiety was done using three types of analysis: quantitative, qualitative and structural.

Results. A qualitative scientometric analysis of publications on rehabilitation technologies for patients with anxiety showed that there are 4 482 publications in the PubMed database for 2012-2023. The results of the structural analysis indicate that the largest number of such publications (73 %) is devoted to the methods of psychotherapy, 10 % of publications are about acupuncture, 9 % of publications are about physical methods of treatment, 4 % of publications are devoted to massage and 3 % of publications are devoted to physical exercises.

Discussion. The results of a comprehensive (quantitative, qualitative and structural) scientometric analysis of rehabilitation technologies in patients with anxiety indicate a sufficient amount of evidence of their effective impact, according to which their systematic review was carried out. However, additional randomized controlled trials are needed to study the predominantly therapeutic effects of physical treatments.

Conclusion. Regular synthesis and analysis of existing evidence-based research, as well as the implementation of new high-quality randomized controlled clinical trials to study and compare new and traditional rehabilitation technologies will help to create clinical guidelines for medical and psychological rehabilitation of patients with anxiety.
