OBJECTIVE To investigate into the effect of moxibustion in the treatment of herpes zoster. METHOD 61 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group (moxibustion treatment) of 30 patients and a control group (laser treatment) of 31 patients. RESULT In the treatment group, 17 patients were cured of the disease, 4 were treated with marked effect, 4 showed some improvement and 5 didn't respond to the treatment, the total effective rate being 83.33%; these figures in the control group were 13, 5, 4, 9, and 70.97% respectively. No marked difference was found between the two groups in therapeutic effect, but better effect was obtained in the treatment group in promoting absorption of the liquid and incrustation and in relieving redness and swelling. CONCLUSION Both acupuncture and laser therapy can shorten the duration of the disease and speed up recovery. Acupuncture is more effective in promoting absorption of liquid and incrustation and relieving redness and swelling.
