Abstract:
Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of nerve blockade combined with millimeter wave on patients with head acute herpes zoster (HZ) following serious pain.MethodsForty-two patients with head acute HZ following serious pain were randomly assigned to two groups: the combined group which treated with nerve blockade combined with millimeter wave, and the control group which received only nerve blockade. The pain degree (Numeric Rating Scales, NRS), blisters and scabbing were evaluated after treatment.ResultsNRS significantly decreased in both groups after treatment. The blister was earlier to disappear and scabbing was better in the combined group than in the control group (P<0.01).ConclusionNerve blockade combined with millimeter wave can effectively relieve the pain and shorten course of head acute HZ following serious pain.
