Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common neurological complications of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and continues to impact people living with HIV/AIDS. The pain associated with peripheral neuropathy can be severe and debilitating. Most pharmacological agents are inadequate in symptom management and are accompanied by adverse side-effects. Acupuncture and moxibustion offer treatment approaches that can reduce HIV symptoms and/or the side-effects of anti-retroviral therapy and improve patients' quality of life.
周围神经病变是人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）感染最常见的神经并发症之一，并且持续影响着艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者。与周围神经病变相关的疼痛可能很严重且使人虚弱。大多数药物在症状管理方面效果不佳，并且伴有不良副作用。针灸提供了一些治疗方法，可以减轻HIV症状和/或抗逆转录病毒疗法的副作用，并改善患者的生活质量。
