Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of early comprehensive psychological interventions on negative emotions of patients with facial spasm undergoing the microvascular decompression. Methods A total of 112 patients with facial spasm undergoing the microvascular decompression were selected and randomly divided into a control group (n=55) and an observation group (n=57). Both groups were given routine nursing, while the observation group was additionally provided with early comprehensive psychological interventions including the cognitive therapy, behavior therapy and supportive therapy. Both groups were evaluated using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) before and after the intervention. ResultsAfter the intervention, the average SAS and SDS scores of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group (t=-10.370, P＜0.001; t=-10.580, P＜0.001). Conclusion Early comprehensive psychological interventions can effectively relieve negative emotions of facial spasm patients undergoing the microvascular decompression and promote their mental health.
