The efficacy of computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (cCBT) on psychobiological responses and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing functional endoscopic sinus surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) is required to minimize bleeding to maintain a clear operative field during surgery, so it is important to preoperative anti-anxiety and stable hemodynamics. Initial evidence suggests cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is effective to minimize surgery-related stress and to speed up recovery. The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a newly developed computer-assisted CBT (cCBT) program on surgery-related psychobiological responses in patients undergoing FESS.

Methods

Participants were allocated to a CCBT group (cCBT; n = 50) or a UC group (usual care; n = 50) by random number table. The State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Patients Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), di
