Delirium is a neuropsychiatric syndrome characterized by acute disturbances of consciousness with rapid onset, rapid progression, obvious fluctuations, and preventable, reversible, and other characteristics. Patients with delirium in the intensive care unit (ICU) are often missed or misdiagnosed and do not receive adequate attention.

To analyze the risk factors for delirium in ICU patients and explore the application of emotional nursing with pain nursing in the management of delirium.

General data of 301 critically ill patients were retrospectively collected, including histories (cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension, smoking, alcoholism, and diabetes), age, sex, diagnosis, whether surgery was performed, and patient origin (emergency/clinic). Additionally, the duration of sedation, Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale score, combined emotional and pain care, ventilator use duration, vasoactive drug use, drainage tube retention, ICU stay duration, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, white blood cell count, body temperature, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) score, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment score were recorded within 24 h after ICU admission. Patients were assessed for delirium according to confusion assessment method for the ICU, and univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors for delirium in the patients.

Univariate logistic regression analysis was performed on the 24 potential risk factors associated with delirium in ICU patients. The results showed that 16 risk factors were closely related to delirium, including combined emotional and pain care, history of diabetes, and patient origin. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that no combined emotional and pain care, history of diabetes, emergency source, surgery, long stay in the ICU, smoking history, and high APACHE II score were independent risk factors for delirium in ICU patients.

Patients with diabetes and/or smoking history, postoperative patients, patients with a high APACHE II score, and those with emergency ICU admission need emotional and pain care, flexible visiting modes, and early intervention to reduce delirium incidence.

Intracranial high-density areas (HDAs) have attracted considerable attention for predicting clinical outcomes; however, whether HDAs predict worse neurological function and mental health remains controversial and unclear, which requires further investigation.

To investigate the predictive value of intracranial HDAs for neurological function and mental health after endovascular treatment.

In this prospective study, 96 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) who accepted endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (EMT) were included. The enrolled patients underwent cranial computed tomography (CT) examination within 24 hours after EMT. Clinical data in terms of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), the 3-month modified Rankin Scale (mRS), self-rating depression scale (SDS), and self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) scores were collected and compared between patients with HDAs and non-HDAs and between patients with good and poor clinical prognosis.

Compared to patients without HDAs, patients with HDAs presented severe neurological deficits (admission NIHSS score: 18 ± 3 vs 19 ± 4), were more likely to have post-stroke disabilities (mRS < 3: 35% vs 62%), and suffered more severe depression (SDS score: 58 ± 16 vs 64 ± 13) and anxiety disorder (SAS score: 52 ± 8 vs 59 ± 10). Compared to patients with a good prognosis, patients with a poor prognosis presented severe neurological deficits (admission NIHSS score: 17 ± 4 vs 20 ± 3), were more likely to have HDAs on CT images (64% vs 33%), and suffered more severe depression (SDS score: 55 ± 19 vs 65 ± 11) and anxiety (SAS score: 50 ± 8 vs 58 ± 12). Multivariate analysis revealed that HDAs were independent negative prognostic factors.

In conclusion, HDAs on CT images predicted poor prognosis and severe depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with AIS who underwent EMT.

Patients not only experience symptoms caused by cancer but also suffer from the accompanying psychological pain. Therefore, these patients do not have high quality of life. According to the World Health Organization, the incidence of leukemia in China in 2020 was 5.1/100000, the mortality rate was 3.3/100000, and the prevalence rate was 16.7/100000. Therefore, it is important to examine the influence of comorbid subthreshold depressive symptoms on leukemia patients.

To determine the impact of comorbid subthreshold depressive symptoms on cancer-related fatigue and complications in leukemia patients, thereby providing a basis for early diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice.

A questionnaire survey was conducted among leukemia patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, China, from August 2022 to December 2023. Patients with a score > 16 on the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (CCMD-3) and a Hamilton Depression Rating Scale score of 8-17 were classified as the subthreshold depressive group (n = 95), while 100 leukemia patients admitted during the same period were classified as the control group. Data were collected using Epidata 3.1 software, and comparisons were made between the two groups regarding general clinical data, the Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Numeric Rating Scale for pain assessment, laboratory indicators, and the occurrence of complications.

In this survey, 120 leukemia patients with depression were preliminarily screened, 95 patients with subthreshold depression were ultimately selected as the subthreshold depression group, and 100 leukemia patients admitted during the same period were enrolled as the normal group. Comparison of basic clinical data between the two groups revealed no significant differences in age, sex, body mass index, cognitive function, or comorbidity with other chronic diseases. However, there were statistically significant differences in the use of radiotherapy and regular exercise between the two groups (P < 0.05). Comparisons of scales and laboratory indicators revealed no significant differences in albumin or PSQI scores between the two groups, but there were statistically significant differences in pain scores, PSQI scores, PFS scores, hemoglobin levels, and C-reactive protein levels (P < 0.05). Spearman’s correlation analysis indicated that cancer-related fatigue was correlated with age, hemoglobin levels, C-reactive protein levels, pain, and regular exercise among leukemia patients with subthreshold depression. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that advanced age, combined radiotherapy, pain, and low hemoglobin levels were risk factors for cancer-related fatigue in leukemia patients with comorbid subthreshold depression, while regular exercise was a protective factor against cancer-related fatigue. Follow-up comparisons revealed a significantly lower overall incidence of complications in the control group (4%) than in the depressive group (24.21%; P < 0.001).

Leukemia patients with comorbid subthreshold depressive symptoms experience more severe cancer-related fatigue and a higher incidence of complications. These findings may be related to advanced age, combined radiotherapy, pain, and low hemoglobin levels, while regular exercise may effectively alleviate symptoms.

Having a gynecological tumor or undergoing treatment can be a traumatic experience for women, as it affects their self-image and sexual relationships and can lead to psychological reactions. Psychological adjustment following cancer occurrence remains a key issue among the survivors.

To examine the current status of quality of life (QoL), anxiety, and depression in patients with gynecological cancer and to analyze the factors associated with it.

Data for 160 patients with gynecological malignancies treated at Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Patients’ QoL was assessed using the European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General Questionnaire. Their emotional status was evaluated using the Self-Rating Anxiety/Depression Scale. The associated factors of anxiety and depression were analyzed.

The overall QoL score of the patients 6 months after surgery was 76.39 ± 3.63 points. This included low levels of social and emotional function and severe fatigue and pain. The scores for physiological, functional, emotional, social, and family well-being exhibited an upward trend following surgery compared with those before surgery. One month after surgery, some patients experienced anxiety and depression, with an incidence of 18.75% and 18.13%, respectively. Logistic analysis revealed that good sleep was a protective factor against anxiety and depression in patients with gynecological tumors, whereas physical pain was a risk factor.

Patients with gynecological malignancies often experience anxiety and depression. By analyzing the factors that affect patients’ QoL, effective nursing measures can be administered.

Hormone replacement therapy is an effective treatment strategy for the management of symptoms in naturally menopausal women. However, some patients report experiencing adverse effects.

To analyze the effects of hormone replacement therapy in menopausal female patients.

A total of 152 menopausal female patients admitted to the Gynecology Department of the Ganzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 were divided into the observation group (n = 76, conventional treatment + hormone replacement therapy) and the control group (n = 76, conventional treatment only) via random casting. The improvement observed in the following items were compared between the groups: Kupperman menopausal index (KMI), emotional state [The Positive and Negative Affect Scale (PANAS)], sleep quality [Self-Rating Scale of Sleep (SRSS)], treatment effectiveness, and treatment safety.

The modified KMI and SRSS scores of the observation group were lower than those of the control group after three rounds of treatment. The improvement in the PANAS score observed in the observation group was greater than that observed in the control group (P < 0.05). The total treatment effectivity rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (86.84% vs 96.05%, χ² = 4.121, P = 0.042). The incidence rate of adverse reactions in the two groups was comparable (6.58% vs 9.21%, χ² = 0.361, P = 0.547).

Hormone replacement therapy effectively improved the clinical symptoms, actively channeled negative emotions, and improved the quality of sleep in menopausal patients, indicating its effectiveness and safety.

The risks associated with negative doctor-patient relationships have seriously hindered the healthy development of medical and healthcare and aroused widespread concern in society. The number of public comments on doctor-patient relationship risk events reflects the degree to which the public pays attention to such events.

To explore public emotional differences, the intensity of comments, and the positions represented at different levels of doctor-patient disputes.

Thirty incidents of doctor-patient disputes were collected from Weibo and TikTok, and 3655 related comments were extracted. The number of comment sentiment words was extracted, and the comment sentiment value was calculated. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare differences between each variable group at different levels of incidence. Spearman’s correlation analysis was used to examine associations between variables. Regression analysis was used to explore factors influencing scores of comments on incidents.

The study results showed that public comments on media reports of doctor-patient disputes at all levels are mainly dominated by “good” and “disgust” emotional states. There was a significant difference in the comment scores and the number of partial emotion words between comments on varying levels of severity of doctor-patient disputes. The comment score was positively correlated with the number of emotion words related to positive, good, and happy) and negatively correlated with the number of emotion words related to negative, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness.

The number of emotion words related to negative, anger, disgust, fear, and sadness directly influences comment scores, and the severity of the incident level indirectly influences comment scores.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a rapidly growing malignant tumor, and chemotherapy is one of the treatments used to combat it. Although advancements of science and technology have resulted in more and more patients being able to receive effective treatment, they still face side effects such as fatigue and weakness. It is important to thoroughly investigate the factors that contribute to cancer-related fatigue (CRF) during chemotherapy.

To explore the factors related to CRF, anxiety, depression, and mindfulness levels in patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy.

General information was collected from the electronic medical records of eligible patients. Sleep quality and mindfulness level scores in patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy were evaluated by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire-Short Form. The Piper Fatigue Scale was used to evaluate the CRF status. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Self-Rating Depression Scale were used to evaluate anxiety and depression status. Univariate analysis and multivariate regression analysis were used to investigate the factors related to CRF.

The overall average CRF level in 62 patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy was 5.74 ± 2.51. In 25 patients, the highest rate of mild fatigue was in the cognitive dimension (40.32%), and in 35 patients the highest moderate fatigue rate in the behavioral dimension (56.45%). In the emotional dimension, severe fatigue had the highest rate of occurrence, 34 cases or 29.03%. The CRF score was positively correlated with cancer experience (all P < 0.01) and negatively correlated with cancer treatment efficacy (all P < 0.01). Tumor staging, chemotherapy cycle, self-efficacy level, and anxiety and depression level were related to CRF in patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy.

There was a significant correlation between CRF and perceptual control level in patients. Tumor staging, chemotherapy cycle, self-efficacy level, and anxiety and depression level influenced CRF in patients with DLBCL during chemotherapy.

Depression is a common occurrence among cancer patients, and it significantly impacts their clinical outcomes and quality of life, with a high incidence during anti-tumor treatment or after surgery. The association between surgery and depression is the result of the interaction of various factors, including physiological, psychological, and social factors, all of which are intertwined and make patients susceptible to depression after surgical treatment. Postoperative depression has a significant negative impact on many aspects of cancer patients, and it requires timely identification and intervention to improve the overall outcome.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) imposes a substantial societal and familial burden due to its high disability and fatality rates, rendering it a serious public health problem. Some patients with TBI have poor treatment outcomes and are prone to postoperative delirium (POD), which affects their quality of life. Anxiety has been linked to increased POD incidence in some studies, while others have found no correlation.

To investigate the correlation of POD risk factors, preoperative inflammatory factors, and mood disorders in patients with TBI.

We retrospectively collected data on the treatment of 80 patients with TBI from November 2021 to September 2023. Patients were grouped as POD and non-POD, according to their POD status, and the general data of the two groups were compared. Inflammatory factor levels were detected preoperatively, and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to investigate the risk factors associated with POD in these patients. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors.

Twenty-one patients (26.25%) developed POD, including 7, 10, and 4 cases of the excitatory, inhibitory, and mixed types, respectively. There were 59 cases (73.75%) in the non-POD group. Compared with the non-POD group, the POD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores before admission, unilateral mydriasis, preoperative hemorrhagic shock, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and postoperative hyperglycemic hyperosmolar disease (P < 0.05). In the POD group, interleukin-6 (IL-6), human tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), myeloperoxidase levels, HAMA, and HAMD scores were higher than those in the non-POD group (all P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that GCS score at admission, IVH, IL-6, TNF-α, HAMA, and HAMD were independent risk factors for POD in patients with TBI (P < 0.05).

Low GCS score at admission, IVH, elevated IL-6 and TNF-α, other inflammatory indicators, anxiety, and depression, can increase the risk of POD in patients with TBI after surgery.

Cerebral infarction is a local or extensive necrosis of brain tissue. Subsequently, the corresponding neurological deficits appear. The incidence of cerebrovascular diseases in China is increasing gradually. After the onset of cerebrovascular disease, the most common sequelae include movement disorders, language disorders, and cognitive dysfunction.

To investigate the effect of early refined nursing program on the prognosis of middle-aged and elderly patients with cerebral infarction combined with cognitive dysfunction.

A retrospective study was conducted to divide 60 patients with cerebral infarction and cognitive impairment into an experimental group (n = 32) and a control group (n = 28). The experimental group received early intensive care every day, and the control group received daily routine care. The scores of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Trail Making Test (TMT), as well as the latency and amplitude of the event-related potential P300, were used as main indicators to evaluate changes in cognitive function, and changes in BDNF, TGF-β, and GDNF expression were used as secondary indicators.

Both groups experienced notable enhancements in MMSE scores, with the experimental group demonstrating higher scores than the control group (experimental: 28.75 ± 2.31; control: 25.84 ± 2.87). Moreover, reductions in TMT-A and TMT-B scores were observed in both groups (experimental: TMT-A 52.36 ± 6.18, TMT-B 98.47 ± 10.23; control: TMT-A 61.48 ± 7.92, TMT-B 112.63 ± 12.55), with the experimental group displaying lower scores. P300 Latency decreased (experimental: 270.63 ms ± 14.28 ms; control: 285.72 ms ± 16.45 ms), while amplitude increased (experimental: 7.82 μV ± 1.05 μV; control: 6.35 μV ± 0.98 μV) significantly in both groups, with superior outcomes in the experimental cohort. Additionally, the levels of the growth factors BDNF, TGF-β1, and GDNF surged (experimental: BDNF 48.37 ng/mL ± 5.62 ng/mL, TGF-β1 52.14 pg/mL ± 4.28 pg/mL, GDNF 34.76 ng/mL ± 3.89 ng/mL; control: BDNF 42.58 ng/mL ± 4.73 ng/mL, TGF-β1 46.23 pg/mL ± 3.94 pg/mL, GDNF 30.25 ng/mL ± 2.98 ng/mL) in both groups, with higher levels in the experimental group.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with cerebral infarction and cognitive dysfunction, early refined nursing can significantly improve their cognitive function and prognosis.

Studies have shown a strong bidirectional association between diabetes and depression, with diabetes increasing the risk of developing depression and vice versa. Depression among patients with diabetes is associated with poor glycemic control, complications, and poor self-care.

To explore the present state of research globally concerning diabetes and depression, to aid understanding the current research landscape and identify potential future areas of research.

A bibliometric approach was used, utilizing the Scopus database to gather pertinent research articles released from 2004 to 2023. Analyses encompassed publication patterns, significant contributors, research focal points, prevalent themes, and the most influential articles, aimed at discerning emerging research subjects.

A total of 3229 publications that met the search criteria were identified. A significant increase in the number of publications related to diabetes and depression has been observed in the past two decades. The most productive nation was the USA (n = 1015; 31.43%), followed by China (n = 325; 10.07%), the UK (n = 236; 7.31%), and Germany (n = 218; 6.75%). Three principal themes in research on depression and diabetes were delineated by the analysis. First, the exploration of the elevated prevalence and etiology of this comorbidity; second, the focus on interventions, particularly randomized controlled trials, aimed at enhancing diabetes management among individuals with depression; and finally, the investigation of the involved risk factors and biological mechanisms underlying this bidirectional relationship.

There has been a recent surge of interest in the relationship between diabetes and depression. This could aid researchers to identify areas lacking in the literature and shape future research.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by social deficits and repetitive behavior. Gastrointestinal (GI) problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease, commonly occur in patients with ASD. Previously, GI problems of ASD patients were attributed to intestinal inflammation and vertical mother-to-infant microbiome transmission.

To explore whether GI problems in ASD are related to maternal intestinal inflammation and gut microbiota abnormalities.

An ASD rat model was developed using valproic acid (VPA). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and fecal 16S rRNA sequencing were used to test GI changes.

VPA exposure during pregnancy led to pathological maternal intestinal changes, resulting in alterations in maternal gut microbiota. Additionally, the levels of inflammatory factors also increased. Moreover, prenatal exposure to VPA resulted in impaired duodenal motility in the offspring as well as increased levels of inflammatory factors.

GI problems in ASD may be associated with maternal intestinal inflammation and microbiota abnormality. Future research is required to find more evidence on the etiology and treatment of GI problems in ASD.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) in adolescents and young adults contributes significantly to global morbidity, with inconsistent findings on brain structural changes from structural magnetic resonance imaging studies. Activation likelihood estimation (ALE) offers a method to synthesize these diverse findings and identify consistent brain anomalies.

To identify consistent brain structural changes in adolescents and young adults with MDD using ALE meta-analysis.

We performed a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases for neuroimaging studies on MDD among adolescents and young adults published up to November 19, 2023. Two independent researchers performed the study selection, quality assessment, and data extraction. The ALE technique was employed to synthesize findings on localized brain function anomalies in MDD patients, which was supplemented by sensitivity analyses.

Twenty-two studies comprising fourteen diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies and eight voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies, and involving 451 MDD patients and 465 healthy controls (HCs) for DTI and 664 MDD patients and 946 HCs for VBM, were included. DTI-based ALE demonstrated significant reductions in fractional anisotropy (FA) values in the right caudate head, right insula, and right lentiform nucleus putamen in adolescents and young adults with MDD compared to HCs, with no regions exhibiting increased FA values. VBM-based ALE did not demonstrate significant alterations in gray matter volume. Sensitivity analyses highlighted consistent findings in the right caudate head (11 of 14 analyses), right insula (10 of 14 analyses), and right lentiform nucleus putamen (11 of 14 analyses).

Structural alterations in the right caudate head, right insula, and right lentiform nucleus putamen in young MDD patients may contribute to its recurrent nature, offering insights for targeted therapies.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of psychiatric research, 2023 marked another year of significant progress globally, with the World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) experiencing notable expansion and influence.

To conduct a comprehensive visualization and analysis of the articles published in the WJP throughout 2023. By delving into these publications, the aim is to determine the valuable insights that can illuminate pathways for future research endeavors in the field of psychiatry.

A selection process led to the inclusion of 107 papers from the WJP published in 2023, forming the dataset for the analysis. Employing advanced visualization techniques, this study mapped the knowledge domains represented in these papers.

The findings revealed a prevalent focus on key topics such as depression, mental health, anxiety, schizophrenia, and the impact of coronavirus disease 2019. Additionally, through keyword clustering, it became evident that these papers were predominantly focused on exploring mental health disorders, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and related factors. Noteworthy contributions hailed authors in regions such as China, the United Kingdom, United States, and Turkey. Particularly, the paper garnered the highest number of citations, while the American Psychiatric Association was the most cited reference.

It is recommended that the WJP continue in its efforts to enhance the quality of papers published in the field of psychiatry. Additionally, there is a pressing need to delve into the potential applications of digital interventions and artificial intelligence within the discipline.

Chemotherapy for malignant tumors can cause brain changes and cognitive impairment, leading to chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI). Current research on CICI has focused on breast cancer and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Whether patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) undergoing chemotherapy have cognitive impairment has not been fully investigated.

To investigate whether NHL patients undergoing chemotherapy had cognitive impairments.

The study included 100 NHL patients who were required to complete a comprehensive psychological scale including the Brief Psychiatric Examination Scale (MMSE) at two time points: before chemotherapy and within 2 wk of two chemotherapy courses. A language proficiency test (VFT), Symbol Number Pattern Test (SDMT), Clock Drawing Test (CDT), Abbreviated Daily Cognition Scale (ECog-12), Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire, and Karnofsky Performance Status were used to assess cognitive changes before and after chemotherapy.

The VFT scores for before treatment (BT) and after treatment (AT) groups were 45.20 ± 15.62, and 42.30 ± 17.53, respectively (t -2.16, P < 0.05). The CDT scores were 8 (3.5-9.25) for BT and 7 (2.5-9) for AT groups (Z -2.1, P < 0.05). Retrospective memory scores were 13.5 (9-17) for BT and 15 (13-18) for AT (Z -3.7, P < 0.01). The prospective memory scores were 12.63 ± 3.61 for BT and 14.43 ± 4.32 for AT groups (t -4.97, P < 0.01). The ECog-12 scores were 1.71 (1.25-2.08) for BT and 1.79 (1.42-2.08) for AT groups (Z -2.84, P < 0.01). The SDMT and MMSE values did not show a significant difference between BT and AT groups.

Compared to the AT group, the BT group showed impaired language, memory, and subjective cognition, but objective cognition and execution were not significantly affected.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and habit reversal training (HRT) have shown application potential in addressing tic symptoms and comorbid psychiatric conditions. Despite their theoretical potential, empirical evidence on their combined efficacy remains limited.

To evaluate the efficacy of CBT combined with HRT on anxiety disorders in children with Tourette’s syndrome (TS).

Clinical data of children with TS admitted to our hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were collected, and the patients were grouped into the conventional therapy (control) group and the CBT combined with HRT group. Baseline characteristics, anxiety scores, tic severity scores, treatment adherence, and parental satisfaction were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using t-tests, chi-square tests, and correlation analysis.

A total of 136 patients, including 65 patients in the control group and 71 patients in the CBT combined with HRT group, were included. The CBT combined with HRT group showed remarkable improvements compared with the control group. Post-intervention assessment revealed a decrease in anxiety scores from 63.52 ± 1.81 to 40.53 ± 1.64 (t = 2.022, P = 0.045), and the Yale Global Tic Severity Scale total score decreased from 22.14 ± 5.67 to 16.28 ± 4.91 (t = 2.288, P = 0.024). Treatment adherence was significantly higher in the CBT combined with HRT group (85.47 ± 7.62%) compared with the control group (82.32 ± 6.54%; t = 2.596, P = 0.010). Parental satisfaction scores were also higher in the CBT combined with HRT group (8.69 ± 1.77) compared with the control group (7.87 ± 1.92; t = 2.592, P = 0.011).

This study demonstrates that CBT combined with HRT significantly reduces anxiety symptoms and tic severity in children with TS, with higher treatment adherence and parental satisfaction. These findings support the potential application of this comprehensive therapeutic approach for TS treatment.
