Clinical efficacy of vibrating-needle-assisted acupuncture combined with gabapentin in treatment of postherpetic neuralgia with qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome
To observe the therapeutic effect of the vibrating-needle-assisted acupuncture combined with gabapentin on patients with postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) of
qi
stagnation and blood stasis type, and its impact on serum inflammatory factors and 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)levels.
Methods
2
A total of 82 PHN patients were randomly assigned into a control group and an observation group using a random number table.The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture,while the observation group was treated with the vibrating-needle-assisted acupuncture once daily.Clinical efficacy,pain assessed by the visual analogue scale(VAS),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI),Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores,serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6),calcitonin gene-related peptide(CGRP),and 5-HT were compared before and after treatment.
Results
2
The total clinical effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group(
P
<
0.05).After treatment,VAS,HAMA,PSQI,TCM syndrome scores,IL-6,CGRP,and 5-HT levels decreased in both groups compared with baseline(
P
<
0.05),and values in the observation group were lower than those in the control group(
P
<
0.05).The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was lower than that in the control group(
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The vibrating-needle-assisted acupuncture combined w
ith gabapentin is significantly effective for PHN of the
qi
stagnation and blood stasis type.It can alleviate pain and anxiety,improve sleep,reduce inflammatory responses,and lower 5-HT levels,showing superior efficacy compared with conventional acupuncture combined with gabapentin.
