Clinical Observation on the Treatment of Acute Herpes Zoster based on the Theory of"Fire Stagnation"
Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of different amounts of moxibustion in the treatment of acute herpes zoster(Her-pesZoster,HZ)based on the theory of"fire stagnation".Methods:60 patients with acute herpes zoster were randomly divided into high moxi-bustion group(n=30)and low moxibustion group(n=30).The clinical efficacy and the incidence of post-herpetic neuralgia(postherpeticheu-ralgia,PHN),visual analog scale score(visualanaloguescale/Score,VAS),Pittsburgh sleep quality index(pittsburghsleepqualityindex,PSQI)and mental state score(self-rating depression scale)(self-ratingdepressionscale,SDS)were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Self-rating anxiety scale(self-ratinganxietyscale,SAS),skin lesion healing index,safety before and after treatment and during treatment were observed.Results:After treatment,the total clinical effective rate in the high moxibustion group(96.7％,29/30)was higher than that in the low moxibustion group(93.3％,28/30).There was significant difference in the total effective rate between the two groups.The incidence of PHN in the high moxibustion group was lower than that in the low moxihustion group.The pain score,sleep score,psychological score and eschar removal time of the two groups were lower than those before treatment.However,the decrease was greater in the high moxibustion group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There were no obvious adverse reactions in both groups.Conclusion:Both the high moxi-bustion group and the low moxihustion group are effective and safe in the treatment of acute herpes zoster,but the high moxibustion group is superior to the low moxibustion group in shortening the course of disease,relieving pain and improving the quality of daily life.
