Abstract:Objective To observe the improvement effects of TCM syndrome differentiation + acupuncture for the clinical symptoms of herpes zoster neuralgia and its safety. Methods Ninety-eight cases with herpes zoster neuralgia admitted to Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from February 2014 to October 2016 were selected as research objects, and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group by random number table, with 49 cases in each group. Both groups were given routine treatment + TCM syndrome differentiation, on basis of which, observation group was added with acupuncture therapy. 7 d was as a course, for 2 courses. The clinical effects of the two groups were observed, the visual analogue scale (VAS) of the two groups before and after treatment were compared, the over time of herpes, escharosis time, the time of pain start to relieve, and the occurrence or not of adverse reactions in the two groups were recorded. All patients were followed-up for 3 months to observe the recurrence or not of neuralgia. Results The total effective rate of observation group was higher than that of control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The VAS scores in the two groups after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05), and the VAS scores in the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those of control group, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The over time of herpes, escharosis time, the time of pain start to relieve in the observation group was all shorter than that of control group, the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Followed-up for 3 months, both groups had no occurrence of neuralgia. There were no serious adverse reactions in the two groups during treatment. Conclusion TCM syndrome differentiation + acupuncture can improve the clinical symptoms of herpes zoster neuralgia effectively, and the safety is high, which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
