Standard methods employed in physiotherapy are seldom applied to florid herpes zoster since they bring little benefit. Initial experience with electrotherapy for herpes is reported. Pulsed galvanic current at a frequency of 30 hertz was applied to the region of the affected segmental nerve. In two centres (Vienna and Maribor) treatment was carried out on 32 patients with herpes zoster (recovery in Vienna after a mean duration of treatment of 6.3 days; in Maribor recovery after 20 days of treatment) and 18 patients with herpes simplex (recovery after 5 or 6.5 days respectively) were treated. Follow up of all patients treated in Vienna showed that only one patient out of the zoster group developed post-herpetic neuralgia. Three patients with herpes simplex had a relapse of the disease, but it was less severe than before treatment. The better results in Vienna were explained by the use of strictly monopolar wave forms and the fact that treatment was applied every day, while in Maribor patients received no treatment over a weekend.
物理治疗中使用的标准方法很少应用于急性带状疱疹，因为它们带来的益处不大。本文报告了电疗法治疗疱疹的初步经验。将频率为30赫兹的脉冲直流电应用于受影响节段神经区域。在两个中心（维也纳和马里博尔），对32例带状疱疹患者进行了治疗（维也纳患者平均治疗6.3天后康复；马里博尔患者治疗20天后康复），并对18例单纯疱疹患者进行了治疗（分别在5天或6.5天后康复）。对在维也纳接受治疗的所有患者进行随访发现，带状疱疹组中只有1例患者出现了带状疱疹后神经痛。3例单纯疱疹患者病情复发，但比治疗前症状减轻。维也纳取得更好疗效的原因是使用了严格的单极波形，且每天进行治疗，而在马里博尔，患者在周末未接受治疗。
