Abstract:
Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of thoracic dorsal root ganglion pulse radio frequency stimulation combined with pregabalin in treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).Methods Sixty-two PHN patients were randomly divided into the single drug group and combination group (n=31).The pre-and post-treatment VAS values and pittsburgh sleep quality in-dex (PSQI),decreased dosage of tramadol after treatment,adverse reaction during treatment,and long-term therapeutic effects were observed.Results VAS values,PSQI and tramadol dosage de-creased significantly post-treatment in both groups,especially in the combination group (P < 0.05). In addition,the incidence of dizziness,somnolence and ataxia was less,but puncture pain was more in combination group (P < 0.05 ).Long-term therapeutic effects of patients in the combination group were significantly improved.Conclusion Thoracic dorsal root ganglion pulsed radio frequence com-bined with pregabalin is effective in the treatment of PHN.
