Trigeminal herpetic neuralgia is a common type of Zoster-associated Pain (ZAP), which troubles individuals in all ages and burdens society all over the world. Eleactroaupuncture (EA) is increasingly used in the treatment of ZAP due to its advantages such as low price, high safety, no adverse reactions, and high patient acceptance.
