Clinical Observation on Efficacy of Ozone Combined with Epidural Anesthesia in Treatment of Herpes Zoster Neuralgia

Objective To explore the clinical effect of ozone,epidural blockade and ozone combined with epidural block therapy on herpes zoster neuralgia. Methods 60 cases of herpes zoster neuralgia patients were randomly divided into three groups and VAS score was adopted to compare the therapeutic effect.Results The pain score had no significant difference between Ozone group and epidural block therapy group(P0.05),however,the pain score of ozone combined with epidural block therapy group was obvious reduced as compared to ozone group or epidural block therapy group alone(P0.01).Conclusion The efficacy of ozone combined and epidural blockade for herpes zoster neuralgia is stronger and the course of treatment is shorter than ozone or epidural blockade alone.
