摘要

简介:带状疱疹后神经痛(PHN)是带状疱疹(HZ)最麻烦的并发症。它常发生在老年人和免疫功能低下的人。PHN是一种慢性神经性疼痛,可在HZ皮疹愈合后持续数月至数年。持续的疼痛会导致身体和心理上的痛苦,并对生活质量产生负面影响。传统的治疗方法(CMT)往往只是部分有效。对于反应不足或对目前的常规疼痛缓解治疗不耐受的患者,可以考虑顺势疗法。病例总结:一名64岁女性,右侧上胸壁和上臂出现严重神经性疼痛,近期有HZ病史。急性神经痛伴发HZ皮疹。CMT治疗1个月内,HZ痊愈,但神经痛持续存在。顺势疗法药物贯叶连翘(Hypericum perforatum)和硫(Sulphur)根据症状的总体和个体化开具处方,从而缓解了PHN(通过“视觉模拟量表”[VAS]评估)。伴有相关症状的缓解和功能性日常活动的改善。使用改进的纳兰霍标准评估改善的因果归因。本病例报告提示,顺势疗法干预可能是缓解PHN疼痛,改善心理困扰和生活质量的治疗选择。

Elderly patient with post-herpetic neuralgia treated with homoeopathic medicine: A case report
Introduction: Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most troublesome complication of herpes zoster (HZ). It often occurs in elderly and immunocompromised persons. PHN is a chronic neuropathic pain that can persist months to years after HZ rashes have healed. The persisting pain causes physical and psychological distress and negatively impacts the quality of life. The conventional method of treatment (CMT) is often only partially effective. In patients with inadequate response, or intolerance to current conventional treatments for pain relief, homoeopathy may be considered. Case Summary: A 64-year-old woman presented with severe neuralgic pain on the right upper chest wall and upper arm with a recent history of HZ. The acute neuralgic pain was accompanied with HZ rashes. Within 1 month of CMT, HZ healed, but neuralgic pain persisted. Homoeopathic medicines Hypericum perforatum and Sulphur were prescribed as per the totality of symptoms and individualisation, which relieved PHN (assessed by ‘Visual Analogue Scale’ [VAS]). It was accompanied with relief in associated symptoms and improvement in functional daily activities. The causal attribution of the improvement was assessed using the Modified Naranjo Criteria. This case report suggests that homoeopathic intervention may be the choice of treatment for relief of pain of PHN along with improvement in the psychological distress and quality of life.
