Postherpetic neuralgia is the most common complication of shingles. It is manifested by the fact that after the herpes has completely subsided, there is still pain in the affected area, which seriously affects patients′ quality of life. However, there is no standardized treatment for this disease in clinical practice.Traditional medicine believes that the disease is caused by stagnation of qi and blood stasis after the skin lesions have disappeared.This disease mostly affects the intercostal nerve, cervical nerve, trigeminal nerve, lumbosacral nerve, etc., but clinical cases of postherpetic neuralgia involving the median nerve are relatively rare. The author was fortunate to encounter a case and found that the median nerve overlaps the hand pericardial meridian of Jueyin, so the acupuncture points of this meridian were mainly used to be penetrated with elongated needles, to promote blood and qi circulation, and to dredge meridian and release pains.The efficacywas satisfactory, hopefully to provide ideas for clinical treatment of the disease.
