Therapeutic effects of immune three oxygen autologous blood transfusion combined with ultrasound guided three oxygen paravertebral injection on postherpetic neuralgia
Abstract：Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of immune three oxygen autologous blood transfusion combined with ultrasound guided three oxygen paravertebral injection on postherpetic neuralgia(PHN).Methods Eighty-four patients with thoracolumbar PHN who were older than 60 years were randomly divided into experimental group( n =42) and control group ( n =42).The patients in control group were treated by oral pregabalin and amitriptyline,however,the patients in experimental group were treated, on the basis of control group,were treated by immune three oxygen autologous blood transfusion combined with ultrasound guided paravertebral three oxygen paravertebral injection. The visual analogue scale (VAS) scores,recovery degree of nerve injury,improvement situation of life quality before treatment and after one treatment course and two treatment courses were observed and compared between two groups.Results After treatment the scores of VAS were significantly decreased in both groups,as compared with those before treatment( P <0.05). After one treatment course and after two treatment courses the VAS scores in experimental group were signifiacntly lower than those in control group (P<0.05 or P <0.01).The total effective rate in experimental group was 96.33%,which was significantly higher than that (74.59%) in control group ( P <0.05).In addition the life quality of patients in both groups was superior to that before treatment ( P <0.05),moreover,which in experimental group was superior to that in control group( P <0.05).Conclusion The immune three oxygen autologous blood transfusion combined with ultrasound guided three oxygen paravertebral injection is a safe and effective method in treatment of senile postherpetic neuralgia,which can obviously alleviate the pain of the patients,and is helpful to repair the nerve injury and improve the life quality of patients.
