Clinical study of acupuncture combined with three oxygen in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with three oxygen in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.@*Methods@#According to the digital table, 70 patients with neck thoracolumbar sacral postherpetic neuralgia were randomly divided into control group (conventional acupuncture plus oral gabapentin+ Bailemian capsule oral group) and observation group (abdominal acupuncture + floating needle + three oxygen paravertebral injection group), 35 cases in each group.The clinical efficacy, sleep state (SRSS), anxiety state (HAMA) and visual analogue scale (VAS) of the two groups were observed and recorded after treatment.@*Results@#The curative effect of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (91.43% vs.65.71%, χ2=6.873, P<0.05), and the SRSS, HAMA and VAS scores after treatment in the observation group were better than those in the control group[SRSS (17.23±3.36)points vs.(10.79±2.48)points, t=8.472, P<0.05; HAMA (12.14±2.62)points vs.(8.49±2.77)points, t=7.251, P<0.05; VAS (3.19±0.98)points vs.(1.87±0.68)points, t=6.919, P<0.05)].@*Conclusion@#Acupuncture combined with three oxygen in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia has significant curative effect, without toxic and side effects, it has higher clinical practical value.
