摘要

背景:脉冲射频(PRF)是带状疱疹相关疼痛(ZAP)的有效治疗方法,进行PRF治疗的最佳时间尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨这种关系,并确定PRF干预的最佳时机。方法:本研究在中国开展单中心回顾性队列研究,对303例接受PRF治疗的ZAP患者进行为期3个月的随访。主要终点为数值评定量表(NRS)评分和NRS降低率。使用多种评估量表来评估疼痛和症状。采用Cox回归分析和限制性三次样条分析检验治疗前时间间隔(PTI)与预后的关系。结果:69.9%的患者经PRF治疗后取得了良好的疗效。阳性结果的发生率从最低PTI四分位数的82.14%下降到最高PTI四分位数的48%。在调整混杂因素后,延长PTI与PRF阴性结果的风险增加相关。限制性立方样条(RCS)分析显示PTI与治疗结果之间存在非线性关系,负面结果的风险在稳定期开始前迅速增加。结论:PRF治疗的最佳时机为疱疹发病后1.5个月内。单中心结果可能受到机构特定实践和医生相关偏差的影响,需要更长的随访时间。

Zoster-associated pain: pretreatment time interval is inversely associated with pulsed radiofrequency effectiveness in a retrospective mono-institutional analysis.

Background: Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is an effective treatment for herpes zoster-associated pain (ZAP), the optimal time to perform the PRF treatment remains unclear. This study aimed to explore this relationship and determine the optimal timing for PRF intervention.

Methods: This research conduct a single-center retrospective cohort study in China. 303 patients who received PRF treatment for ZAP were followed up for 3 months. The primary endpoints were numerical rating scale (NRS) score and NRS reduction rate. Multiple assessment scales were used to evaluate pain and symptoms. Cox regression analysis and restricted cubic spline analysis were performed to examine the relationship between pre-treatment time interval (PTI) and outcomes.

Results: 69.9% achieved positive outcomes after PRF treatment. The incidence of positive outcomes decreased from 82.14% in the lowest PTI quartile to 48% in the highest. After adjusting for confounding factors, prolonged PTI was associated with an increased risk of negative PRF outcomes. Restricted Cube Spline (RCS) analysis revealed a non-linear relationship between PTI and treatment outcomes, with the risk of negative outcomes increasing rapidly initially before plateauing.

Conclusions: The optimal timing for PRF treatment was determined to be within 1.5 months of herpes onset. Single-center results may be influenced by institution-specific practices and physician-related biases, and longer follow-up period is necessary.
