Abstract: 【Abstract】 Objective To observe the curative effects of anti-inflammatory-analgesic solution combined with low dose ozone injection by continuous infusion of epidural space for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. Methods Sixty cases with postherpetic neuralgia were randomly divided into two groups(n=30 in each group). Group A:.epidural space infusion of anti-inflammatory-analgesic solution alone. Group B: epidural space infusion anti-inflammatory-analgesic solution combined with epidural catheter injection low dose ozone,.once a day..The changes of painful degree were observed during pre-treatment and different period of post-treatment in two groups..The therapeutic efficacies were evaluated by VAS score..Results In the VAS score,.the post-treatment was lower than that pre-treatment in two groups (P<0.05). Furthermore, since the second day of post-treatment, the every day VAS score of group B was lower than that of group A(P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous infusion anti-inflammatory-analgesic solution combined with low dose ozone injection in epidural space would promptly relieve pain and improve symptoms. It is an effective method for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia.
