ABSTRACT

A quasi-experimental study of therapeutic intervention in 60 patients with herpes zoster who attended the Dermatology department of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from July, 2012 to March, 2014, in order to determine the effectiveness of the combined therapy of homeopathy and Su Jok, for which parametric and not parametric statistical tests were used. 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. In the series females (38.3%), the age group 45-64 years (58.3%) and the intercostal clinical form (38.3%) prevailed; also, the most frequent symptoms were pain, pruritus and ardour, with primacy of the first one (51.6%). The combined Su Jok therapy and homeopathy showed similar results (83.3%) to those obtained with the conventional therapy (86.6%) and it produced minimum adverse effects (6.6%).
