Abstract: The treatment of Herpes zoster by acupuncture is described. These
were four patients with acute zoster and four with post-herpetic neuralgia.
in a majority of the cases electro-acupuncture was found to be effective,
and this treatment should be instigated as early as possible. Since the
treatment of Herpes zoster by drugs is not routinely successful and can
prove expensive, acupuncture, whose side effects are minimal, merits a
trial. |
