The quality of life in patients with severely affected, Numerous studies confirm that acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of herpes zoster has a unique advantage, and it has a wide range of clinical treatment programs. This topic by looking at different methods of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of herpes zoster clinical efficacy, serum IL-12 levels in patients before and after treatment. To provide a reliable clinical guiding principles and application of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of herpes zoster.In this study,90 cases of patients with herpes zoster were from Wuhan Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western medicine acupuncture clinic or hospitalized. According to treatment sequence, through the investigation with random number table, the patients were randomly divided into three groups:there are 30 cases of pricking with electro-acupuncture cupping method (treatment group 1), there are 30 cases of electro-acupuncture with Cotton moxibustion (treatment group 2), as well as the western therapy (control group) of 30 cases. Each group received 10 days treatment and after treatment, acceptance of follow-up at 22d,30d,60d and 90d. Observe the integrated effect of each group, and an objective analysis of herpes evaluation index, pain rating index and serum levels of interleukin-12 level of each group.1. Comparison of comprehensive therapeutic effect, the treatment group 1 of 25 cases were cured, with a total effective rate was 96.67%, treatment group 2 were cured 23 cases, with a total effective rate was 93.34%, control group 18 cases were cured, with a total effective rate was 73.34%. Treatment of the three groups are valid, Efficacy of the three groups, the difference was significant (P<0.01)2. Herpes evaluation index comparison, Blisters stop appearing time was no difference between the three groups (P>0.05), Scab time comparison, the difference between the three groups was significant (P<0.01), between the two groups, treatment group 2 of the scab was significantly shorter than the treatment group 1, the difference was significant (P<0.01).3. Pain evaluation index comparison, the difference between the three groups of analgesic effect was significant (P<0.01), between the two groups, treatment group 1 of analgesic effect was better than treatment group 2, the difference was significant (P<0.05); The time of pain started to ease comparison, the difference between the three groups was significant (P<0.01), between the two groups, treatment group 1 of the time of pain started to ease significantly shorter than the treatment group 2, there is a significant difference (P<0.01).4. The incidence of PHN, in the 30-day follow-up, the difference between the three groups was significant (P<0.05).5.After treatment, three groups of patients with herpes zoster serum IL-12 levels were significantly increased compared with before treatment, three groups showed no significant difference (P <0.05).Two kinds of acupuncture therapy on patients with herpes zoster have a more positive clinical effect, electro-acupuncture with cotton moxibustion therapy could significantly promote patients with herpes zoster skin lesions healed, electro-acupuncture with cupping therapy can pricking better for patients with nerve injury recovery, reduce the extent of nerve pain. And these two methods of acupuncture can play a regulating role in immune function in patients, thereby improving the clinical symptoms of patients and reduce the incidence of PHN. In addition, when compared with the western medicine,its therapeutic effects rapidly, non-toxic side effects,is an effective method of treatment of herpes zoster.
