WANG Li, FANG Yu-pu, LI Qing-juan, et al. Effect of Shedan Yuhou Pill and Gabapentin in Treating Postherpetic Neuralgia with Qi and Blood Stasis[J]. Chinese journal of experimental traditional medical formulae, 2018, 24(8): 183-188. DOI: 10.13422/j.cnki.syfjx.20180721.
Objective: To explore the efficacy of Shedan Yuhou pill and gabapentin in treating postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) with Qi and blood stasis patients
in order to explore its possible mechanism. Method: A total of 114 eligible patients were randomly divided into the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) group
the western medicine group and the TCM combined with western medicine group. The TCM group was treated with Shedan Yuhou pill; gabapentin was administered to the medicine medicine group; Shedan Yuhou pill and gabapentin were given to the TCM combined with medicine medicine group. A course of treatment was 4 weeks. The simplified McGill pain score scale (McGill)
skin disease life quality index (DLQI) and TCM syndrome PHN hemostasis syndrome (TCM syndrome) were observed to estimate the efficacy of the three group before and after treatment. The serum interleukin-6 (IL-6)
interleukin-2 (IL-2)
tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected to compare the efficiency
recurrence rate and adverse reaction in the 3 groups. Result: The efficiency of the TCM combined with western medicine group was 96.8%
which was higher than 78.8% of the TCM group and 77.1% of the western medicine group (P<0.05). After treatment
McGill

TNF-α
SOD of the TCM combined with western medicine group improved significantly (P<0.05) in three group. The order from low to high by the efficiency and incidence of adverse reactions was the TCM group < the TCM combined with western medicine group < the western medicine group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Shedan Yuhou pill is effective in treating PHN with Qi and blood stasis
with no significant difference from gabapentin. The incidence of adverse reactions was lower. Shedan Yuhou pill combined with gabapentin has a synergistic effect
which were better than the single use of Shedan Yuhou pill or gabapentin
