Abstract:Abstract Objective: To observe the effect of oral bulleyacinitine A (BLA) on acute herpetic pain. Methods: A total of 100 patients with acute herpetic pain were divided into control group and treatment group (50 cases in each group) according to the order of treatment. Both groups were given the same conventional treatment, and the treatment group was given oral BLA on the basis of conventional treatment. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score and quality of sleep (QS) score of 2 groups were observed and recorded before treatment and at week 1, 2, 3 and 4 after treatment. The effective rate and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in both groups was recorded. Results: Compared with before treatment, VAS score and QS score of 2 groups at each time point after treatment were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, the changes of VAS score and QS score in the treatment group were more obvious (P < 0.05). The effective rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 1 and 2 weeks after treatment, and the incidence of PHN was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Oral BLA can significantly relieve the pain in the acute stage of herpes zoster, improve the sleep quality of patients and reduce the incidence of PHN, without obvious adverse reactions, which has certain clinical application value.
