ABSTRACT

Despite its demonstrated efficacy, the conventional pharmacologic approach to the treatment of Herpes zoster often has shortcomings-delayed treatment response times, limited treatment window to prevent PHN, and outright treatment failures. It is obvious in light of the foregoing evidence that other treatment options merit consideration, complementary and/or alternative medical disciplines among them. Homeopathic medicine, based on extensive clinical experience, coupled with its remarkable safety profile and convenience of administration, is one such discipline.

Los pacientes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a 2 grupos; en uno se aplicó el tratamiento convencional (grupo de control) y en el otro, la terapéutica alternativa (grupo de estudio) Se emplearon los remedios homeopáticos Sulphur, Apis mellifica, Rhus toxicodendron y Daphne mezereum; las semillas de cardo santo para estimular los puntos de correspondencia de Su Jok y los medicamentos aciclovir, dipirona y difenhidramina. En la serie predominaron las féminas (38,3 %), los grupos etarios de 45-64 años (58,3 %) y la forma clínica intercostal (38,3 %); asimismo, los síntomas más frecuentes fueron el dolor, prurito y ardor, con primacía del primero (51,6 %).

The patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups; in one the conventional treatment was applied (control group) and in the other, the alternative therapy (study group) . The homeopathic remedies Sulphur, Apis mellifica, Rhus toxicodendron and Daphne mezereum; the thistle saint seeds to stimulate the correspondence points of Su Jok and the medications acyclovir, dipirone and diphenhydramine were used.

ABSTRACT

A neuralgia pós-herpética (NPH) é a complicação mais frequente do herpes-zóster, caracterizando-se pela presença de dor tipo neuropática de distribuição dermatômica, após manifestação prévia de um quadro agudo de herpes-zóster, geralmente um mês depois do surgimento das vesículas. O objetivo do presente relato é apresentar dois casos clínicos de NPH e suas respostas a diferentes tratamentos. O primeiro caso apresentou intolerância à amitriptilina e uma boa resposta clínica à gabapentina na dosagem de 900 mg/dia. O segundo caso apresentou intolerância à capsaicina, mas apresentou boa resposta à combinação da pregabalina com lidocaína tópica. A gabapentina, a pregabalina e a lidocaína tópica são tratamentos eficazes para o tratamento da neuralgia pós-herpética. Todas essas recomendações vão ao encontro dos tratamentos utilizados pelos médicos de família nos dois casos apresentados neste estudo.


Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most common complication of Herpes Zoster, characterized by the presence of neuropathic-type pain limited to a dermatomic area after outbreak of Herpes Zoster (commonly known as shingles), usually a month after the appearance of vesicles on the skin . The aim of this report is to present two cases of PHN and their responses to different treatments. The first case presented intolerance to amitriptyline and a good clinical response to gabapentin at a dose of 900 mg/day. The second case showed intolerance to capsaicin but responded well to the combination of pregabalin and topical lidocaine. Gabapentin, pregabalin and lidocaine are effective for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. All these recommendations are consistent with those treatments used by the family physicians in the two cases study presented.

Todas estas recomendaciones son coherentes con los tratamientos utilizados por el médico de familia en dos casos presentados en este estudio.

ABSTRACT

Les petites cliniques sont destinees tres concretement a offrir des possibilites simples, claires, de prescriptions homeopathiques. Elles n'ont pas vocation a etre des "recettes", mais en "delabyrinthant" le jeu de la similitude, elles permettent de comprendre comment il est possible de traiter efficacement et elegamment par homeopathie.(AU)
