AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for treating postherpetic neuralgia suffer from several problems, including poor efficacy of single topical treatments, complex drug formulations, cumbersome procedures, significant side effects of Western medicines, and insufficient improvement in systemic symptoms. They are unable to achieve rapid and thorough pain relief and systemic regulation.
The combined use of oral and external Chinese medicine formulations is employed. The oral formulation uses herbs such as Scutellaria baicalensis to clear heat and detoxify, nourish yin and reduce fire, while the external formulation uses herbs such as gypsum to clear heat and purge fire, cool blood and relieve pain. The combination of the two forms a treatment mode that treats both internal and external ailments. The preparation method is simple and practical.
It achieves rapid and thorough pain relief, with an onset time significantly better than single topical treatments and Western medicines. It improves systemic symptoms such as constipation, anxiety, and depression, and has no obvious side effects. It is also inexpensive and suitable for promotion in primary healthcare institutions.
