Research progress on combination therapy of postherpetic neuralgia

带状疱疹后遗神经痛(PHN)是带状疱疹皮损愈合后遗留的顽固性神经病理性疼痛,是带状疱疹最常见的并发症,随着我国人口的老龄化,带状疱疹和PHN的发病率显著增加,严重影响患者的生活质量。单一的治疗方式效果欠佳,近年出现了很多新型联合治疗方式,效果较显著。本文就PHN的联合治疗方式进展进行综述,为寻找新的联合治疗方式提供思路。

Postherpetic neuralgia(PHN) is a refractory neuropathic pain left after the healing of herpes zoster(HZ) skin lesions, which is the most common complication of HZ. With the aging of Chinese population,the incidence of HZ and PHN has increased significantly, severely affecting the quality of life of patients.Monotherapy gains less effective results, while lots of novel combination therapy have emerged in recent years,with remarkable efficacy. This article reviews the progress on combination therapy of PHN, so as to provide ideas for finding novel combination therapy.
