Postherpetic Neuralgia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy of Electroacupuncture Therapy in Patients With Postherpetic Neuralgia: a Multicentre Randomised Controlled Trial
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) has a high incidence rate and severely impact on quality of life and health care costs, interfering with physical, emotional and social functioning of affected patients. Current therapeutic options for PHN mainly include analgetic and local anaesthesia for selective nerve blockade. Nevertheless, the efficacy of analgetic is always limited by inevitable side effects, in which patients have poor compliance. Moreover, for some most suffering patients, the control of pain is often unsatisfactory despite the administration of complex combinations. As a non-pharmarceutical therapy, acupuncture is widely use for a wide range of pain conditions. Thus, it might be an alternative treatment for PHN. The aim of this multicenter randomized controlled trial is to investigate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture therapy in patients with postherpetic neuralgia.
This randomized controlled trial will enroll 132 patients with postherpetic neuralgia. All patients will be randomly assigned to either the EA combined with medication group or the medication group via a computerized central randomization system in a 1:1 ratio. Primary outcomes will be change in sensory thresholds and pain intensity. Secondary outcomes will be change in dosage of analgetic, quality of life, anxiety and depression severity and sleep quality. ;
