Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of radiofrequency ablation of the dorsal root ganglion(DRG)and radiofrequency ablation of the anterior and posterior branches of the spinal nerve in the treatment of post-herpetic neuralgia in the elderly.Methods A total of 60 elderly patients with chest and back herpes zoster neuralgia treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were selected as the subjects,and divided into DRG group (n=30)and spinal nerve group (n=30)according to randomized controlled grouping method.The DRG group was treated with DRG pulse radiofrequency.The spinal nerve group was treated with radiofrequency signals of the anterior and posterior branches of the spinal nerve.After 6 months of follow-up after discharge.The differences between visual analog scale(VAS)and analgesic use before and after treatment were compared.The quality of life indicators before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions during treatment were compared.Results The improvement rate of the DRG group was significantly higher than that of the spinal nerve group (P<0.05).The VAS scores of the DRG group were significantly lower than those of the spinal nerve group after the first treatment,the third treatment,1 month,3 months of post-treatmen (P<0.05).The use rate of tramadol in the DRG group was significantly lower than that in the spinal nerve group at different time points(P<0.05).The PSQI,anxiety score and depression scores of the DRG group were significantly lower than those of the spinal nerve group at 1,3,6 months after discharge,and SF-36 scores were significantly higher than those of the spinal nerve group (P<0.05).There were no adverse reactions in the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion DRG pulse radiofrequency can effectively alleviate post-herpetic neuralgia in the elderly,and improve the quality of life of patients after treatment.
