Therapeutic efficacy of cerebral reflexology therapy combined with sertraline in adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury behavior
Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of cerebral reflexology therapy combined with sertraline in the adolescents with non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)behavior.Methods Eighty NSSI behavioral adolescents were divided into two groups with 40 cases each.Group A was treated with brain reflex therapy combined with sertraline and group B was treated with sertraline alone.After 4 weeks of treatment,the efficacy,safety,and cognitive function of two groups were evaluated.The NSSI behavioral questionnaire was used to assess the efficacy.The rating scale for side effects(SERS)score was used to assess the occurrence of adverse effects.Wisconsin card sorting test(WCST)was used to assess the changes in the cognitive function.Results Compared with before treatment,the NSSI behavior questionnaire scores,the numbers of persistent errors and non-persistent errors in WCST were decreased,while the number of completed classifications was increased after 4 weeks of treatment in two groups(P＜0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the NSSI behavior questionnaire score of group A was lower than that of group B,and the numbers of persistent and non-persistent errors were decreased,while the number of completed classifications was increased in group A compared to group B(P＜0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the SERS score of group A was lower than that of group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with single use of sertraline therapy,cerebral reflexology therapy combined with sertraline has a better therapeutic efficacy for adolescent NSSI behavior with reduced adverse reactions and improved cognitive function.
