摘　　要：Objective To compare the difference of clinical efficacy of thin cotton moxibustion combined with plum-blossom needle and western medication in treatment of herpes zoster.Method Eighty patients with herpes zoster were divided into thin cotton moxibustion group（group A,n=40） and western medication group（group B,n=40） according to the sequence of admission.Patients in group A received thin cotton moxibustion that the colton was used as thin as a cicada＇s wings,combined with plum-blossom needle,and patients in group B received intravenous infusion with 0.25 g of acyclovir once a day,and acyclovir ointment application on affected part for 3-5 times per day.Five days were considered as a course of treatment.Analgesic effect and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia were observed after two consecutive courses.Result The total effective rate was 97.5%（39/40） in group A,and80.0%（32/40） in group B（P〈0.05）;it was shown from the comparison of course between two groups that the cure rate after one in group A was markedly higher than that in group B（P〈0.01,P〈0.05）;the differences in effectual time and analgesic time between group A and group B were statistically significant（P〈0.05）;after treatment,the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia in group A was markedly lower than that in group B（P〈0.05）.Conclusion Thin cotton moxibustion combined with plum-blossom needle in treatment of herpes zoster can obviously shorten the time of therapy,effectively control pain,and reduce the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia.目的:比较薄棉灸结合梅花针叩刺与西药疗法治疗带状疱疹的临床疗效差异。方法:将80)例带状疱疹患者按入院先后顺序分为薄棉灸组(40例)和西药组(40例)。薄棉灸组给予疱疹表面薄如蝉翼棉花灸结合梅花针叩刺治疗,西药组给予静脉滴注阿昔洛韦0.25 g,每日一次,阿昔洛韦软膏涂擦患处3-5次/日,均5 d为一疗程,连续治疗两个疗程后观察镇痛效果和后遗神经痛发生率。结果:薄棉灸组总有效率为97.5%(39/40),西药组总有效率80.0%(32/40),两组疗效差异有显著意义(P<0.05);两组痊愈病例中疗程比较显示,薄棉灸组1个疗程的痊愈率显著高于西药组(P<0.01);薄棉灸组在疼痛显效时间、完全止痛时间方面与西药组比较,差异有统计学意义(均P<0.05);两组治疗后后遗神经痛发生率薄棉灸组明显低于西药组(P<0.05)。结论:薄棉灸结合梅花针叩刺治疗带状疱疹能明显缩短治疗时间、有效缓解疼痛、减少后遗神经痛的发生率。
