Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of nursing intervention on the treatment of half facial spasm with the facial nerve vertical comb.Methods: Eighty half facial spasm patients treated with the facial nerve vertical comb were divided into the control group and observation group(40 cases each group).The control group and observation group were nursed with routine method and nursing intervention,respectively.The facial nerve function,anxiety and depression between two groups were compared.Results: The ratios of level Ⅰfacial nerve function in control group and observation group were 37.50% and 57.50%,respectively,the difference of which was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The differences of the SAS and SDS scores before intervention between two groups were not statistically significant(P>0.05).Compared before intervention,the SAS and SDS scores in two groups significantly decreased after intervention(P<0.01),and the decreasing degrees of the SAS and SDS scores in observation group were more significant(P<0.01).Conclusions: The nursing intervention in the treatment of half facial spasm with the facial nerve vertical comb can effectively alleviate the anxiety and depression,and improve the curative effect,which is worthy of popularization and application.
