ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the effects of comprehensive psychological interventions in the treatment of abnormal blinking in children.Methods One hundred and sixty-three children diagnosed with abnormal blinking were randomly assigned into a basic treatment group or a comprehensive psychological intervention (CPI) group.Both groups received etiology-based therapy,while the CPI group received CPI in addition.After follow-up for six months,the therapeutic effectiveness and recurrence were evaluated.Results Abnormal blinking was significantly reduced in both groups after treatment,but the CPI group showed significantly better effectiveness than the group which received only basic treatment.Furthermore,the CPI group showed significantly less recurrence at 3-and 6-month follow-up.Conclusion CPI is more effective than basic treatment in treating abnormal blinking among children and results in less recurrence.
