Patients in group B were treated with antiviral and neurotrophic medi-cation, psychological intervention and He-Ne laser.Patients in group C were treated with antiviral and neurotrophic medication , psychologi-cal intervention, analgesic drugs and He-Ne laser.Visual analogue scale ( VAS) was evaluated before treatment in hospital on the 3rd day, the 5th day of treatment, and telephone follow -up after 4 weeks of treatment.VAS and average length of stay were analyzed . Results No difference was found as to VAS before treatment in hospital among three groups (8.1 ±1.1, 8.1 ±0.9 vs 7.9 ±1.0, P<0.05).VAS was decreased in all groups after nursing propaganda , psychological intervention and placebo (P<0.05).Compared with the VAS before treatment, VAS in three groups decreased significantly on the 3rd day and the 5th day of treatment.From the re-sults on the 5th day and telephone follow -up after 4 weeks of treatment , VAS was still at a low level in group A and group B , on the contrary, VAS was decreased continuously in group C . Conclusion Combined treatment of antiviral , neurotrophic, analgesic drugs and He-Ne laser can relieve pain , decrease VAS and shorten the average length of stay for patients with acute herpes and zoster .
