 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 10 Nerve block with ultraviolet radiation in the treatment of herpes zoster Author: Neuxar Hong Zhang Gui-Ling Liu ZHU Xiumei [Abstract] Objective: To study the nerve block with ultraviolet rays with simple drug treatment of Herpes Zoster. Methods: The diagnosis of herpes zoster, 443 patients were randomly divided into two groups, I group (n = 245) receiving nerve blocking stagnation and ultraviolet irradiation; II group (n = 198 cases) received drug therapy alone. Comparison of the two groups before and after 5 d in the treatment of pain VAS score, pain, only blisters, crusted time, and whether or PHN. Results: After 5 d in the treatment of patients with VAS pain score, I group compared with before treatment reduced (P amp;lt;0.05), I group than in II group (P amp;lt;0.05); I group pain, only the blisters, crusted time better than the II group ( P amp;lt;0.05). treatment 5 d after the cure rate and total effective rate is higher than I group II group (P amp;lt;0.01). I group PHN 11.02%, II group of PHN as high as 61.11% (P amp;lt;0.01) . Conclusion: The nerve block with the efficacy of ultraviolet radiation treatment of herpes zoster is better than drug treatment. [Keywords:] nerve conduction block ultraviolet therapy of herpes zoster 0 Introduction Herpes zoster is a vesicular-zoster virus violation of neural stem or the nerve roots, causing a corresponding point of flaky skin region Venturi herpes, and accompanied by a clear neuralgia, and pain in older heavier, seriously affecting the quality of life in patients with . At present, many uses in medicine [1-2] or physiotherapy [3], there is also an external application, or intramuscular injection of drugs such as cell growth peptide treatment, but most treatment length, and can not alleviate the severe neuropathic pain. It is reported in the literature about 50% ~ 70% of patients after treatment and continued PHN, which continued to 8 wk of about 55%, and 32% of the patients for se
