Research on the Application of Psychological Nursing in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia with Radiofrequency Temperature Controlled Thermocoagulation

Abstract

Objective: To explore the application effect of psychological nursing in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia using radiofrequency temperature controlled thermocoagulation. Methods: 56 patients with trigeminal neuralgia treated with radiofrequency temperature controlled thermocoagulation in our hospital from July 2022 to July 2023 were included in the research. They were randomly divided into an experimental group and a reference group using a random number table method, with 28 patients in each group. The reference group received routine nursing, while the experimental group received psychological nursing, and the nursing effects of the two groups were compared. Result: After using psychological nursing, the psychological function score, quality of life score, and nursing satisfaction of the experimental group were better than those of the reference group, with significant differences between the groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: During the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia patients with radiofrequency temperature controlled thermocoagulation, psychological nursing intervention can effectively improve their psychological state, enhance their quality of life, and increase nursing satisfaction.
