Anxiety scores of highly fearful children were registered during a control period after their curative treatment. The average length of the control period was seventy-two weeks. The anxiety scores of the children who were treated curatively with the aid of nitrous oxide were significantly lower than those of children from a behavioral management group. All the semiannual check-ups were performed without the use of nitrous oxide. Anxiety scores of all the children during the control period correlated closely with the anxiety scores of the curative treatment before and after the control period. It was concluded that nitrous oxide helps children to lower their anxiety levels during a long period after treatment. Influencing anxiety in highly anxious children might be characterized as a long-term process.
在接受治愈性治疗后的控制期内，对极度恐惧儿童的焦虑评分进行了记录。控制期的平均时长为72周。借助一氧化二氮接受治愈性治疗的儿童的焦虑评分显著低于行为管理组儿童的焦虑评分。所有半年期检查均未使用一氧化二氮。控制期内所有儿童的焦虑评分与控制期前后治愈性治疗时的焦虑评分密切相关。得出的结论是，一氧化二氮有助于儿童在治疗后的很长一段时间内降低焦虑水平。影响高度焦虑儿童的焦虑可能是一个长期过程。
