For patients with postherpetic neuralgia, certain TCM methods can be used to treat it. At present, the clinical effect is relatively ideal. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is used to treat postherpetic neuralgia based on syndrome differentiation and the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. On the one hand, the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine can not only treat the disease itself, but also alleviate the symptoms of systemic discomfort caused by herpes zoster disease. On the other hand, acupuncture can directly act on the part of the disease, effectively shorten the course of the disease, and quickly alleviate the sequela neuralgia caused by herpes zoster. At the same time, patients can also take analgesic and neurotrophic drugs to relieve pain.
