Abstract:

AIM: To evaluate the curative effects of oxycodone hydrochloride controlled-release tablets plus NB-UVB in the treatment of herpes zoster neuralgia.  METHODS: A prospective study method was adopted; one hundred and twenty cases of patients with herpes zoster treated by our hospital from September 2013 to February 2016 were selected and were equally divided into the observation group and control group according to the random-envelope principles. Both groups received antiviral treatment, and the control group was given NB-UVB therapy, while the observation group received oxycodone hydrochloride controlled release tablets combined with NB-UVB therapy; the treatment cycle was 14 days. RESULTS: The skin lesion regression time of the observation group was (6.18±1.05) d, which was significantly shorter than (7.93±1.36) d in the control group (P<0.05). The pain and skin lesions scores in the observation group after treatment were (2.33±1.38) points and (1.26±0.76) points, which were significantly lower than (4.46±1.93) points and (3.56±1.18) points of the control group (P<0.05), and that before treatment (P<0.05). There were no severe adverse reactions in the two groups during the treatment, and the nausea and vomiting, constipation, drowsiness, dizziness and other adverse reactions compared between the two groups showed no significant difference (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Oxycodone hydrochloride controlled release tablets combined with NB-UVB in the treatment of herpes zoster neuralgia can effectively and safely relieve the pain and skin lesions so as to promote the patient's rehabilitation.
