| Herpes zoster, is named Shechuanchuang in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It's a herpetic and inflammatory dermatosis caused by herpes zoster virus.These drugs like antivirotic , immunomodulator , neurotrophy agent, paregoric and glucocorticoid were used in herpes zoster treatment. Besides, such physics healing solutions as laser, narrow-band UVB, nerve block, micro-wave, pulsed short wave combined with pulsed electromagnetic therapy, and healthtron potential were effective on post-herpetic neuralgia(PHN). But all these therapies were much in -convenient and expensive. Moreover, glucocorti-coid had severe side effects, so it wasn't suitable for patients with other diseases like diabetes mellitus(DM).The total effective rates of Chinese medicine and combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine were both above 80%.Especially, the effect of course shortness, pain relief and PHN decrease was obviously better than that in simple western medicine therapy. In addition , Chinese medicine and combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine were superior pro分é'Ÿently in healing severe and gangrenous herpes zoster virus.It showed that Chinese medicine and combination of Chinese medicine and Western medicine had a bright future, so they were worth spreading in clinical treatment. But it needs a further study in normalization and standardization of Chinese medicine therapy. Moreover, it is also meaningful to research how to select more effective complex prescrip -tions and the use of benefiting Qi and invigorating Qi. With the review of available treatment trials in recent 10 years, I've concluded that it is necessary to research and consummate the use of triple warmer theory in herpes zoster treatment and the use of recipes like Chuan Xiong Cha Tiao San ,Gua Lou San ,Chai Hu Shu Gan San and Er Miao San in herpes zoster of different nerve segments. |
