Objective : To explore the efficacy and safety of medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with acupuncture on postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) and found the optimal treatment programs. Methods :120 patients with PHN were randomized into three groups:thread moxibustion group (40 cases), medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with eletroacupuncture surrounding needling group (40 cases) and the medical group (40 cases). The treatment courses were four weeks and the follow - up periods were three months. VAS score was applied to quantify and estimate the conditions of patients before and after treatment. Results : After four courses treatment, the scores of VAS in three groups were significantly lower than those before treatment (P 〈 0.05 ). In the thread moxibustion group, the total effective rate was 77.5%. In the medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with acupuncture of electricity needle groups,the total effective rate was 87.5%. In the drug group,the total effective rate was 55%. Conclusion: Medicated thread moxibustion of traditional Zhuang nationality medicine combined with acupuncture is the optimal and recommended.
