| Objective:To observe the short- and long-term clinical curative efficacy of electro-acupuncture of Jiaji acupoints combined with modulated medium frequency current therapy in the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) of old patients. Methods:According to the random number table method, 64 patients with PHN were divided into treatment group and control group randomly (n=32 each). The two groups received the electro-acupuncture and surround needle therapy, and the treatment group received the electro-acupuncture of the Jiaji acupoints combined with modulated medium frequency current therapy additionally. The clinical efficacy was evaluated by VAS, HAMA and the percentage of pain relief. The recurrence of pain was followed up at 1st and 2nd month after treatment. Results: The obvious effective rate in treatment group and control group was 87.50% and 68.75% respectively (P<0.05). VAS scores and HAMA scores in treatment group were significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05). No pain recurrence occurred in both two groups during the follow-up period. Conclusion：The clinical efficacy of electro-acupuncture of Jiaji acupoints combined with modulated medium frequency current therapy in the treatment of PHN of old patients is more satisfactory than the traditional physical therapy alone. |
