Methods; A total of 40 herpes zceter patients were randomized into acupuncture plus medication group （ n = 21 ） and medication group （ n = 19） which were treated respectively with topical plum-blossom needle tapping in the focus region combined with intravenous drip of Acyclovir （250 rng＋250 mL normal saline, twice daily） and simple intravenous drip of Acyclovir. Results： After treatment, of the 21 and 19 cases in acupuncture plus medication and medication groups, 18 （85.7%） and 10 （52.6%） were cured, 3 （ 14.3% ） and 7 （36.8%） had marked improvement, 0 （0） and 2 （ 10.5% ） failed, with the effective rates being 100,0% and 89,5% respectively. The cure duration of acupuncture plus medication end medication groups were （2.5± 1.0） days and （4.0±2.3） days separately. The therapeutic effect of the former group was significantly superior to that of the later group （P〈 0.05） and the duration of cure of acupuncture plus medication group was evidently shorter than that of medication group （P〈0.05）. Conclusion： The therapeutic effect of plum-blossom needle tapping plus Acyclovir is significantly superior to that of simple Acyclovir in relieving pain, promoting scabbing, and shortening the therapeutic duration.展开更多
