Needles and immunity: can acupuncture help fight shingles?
NCT ID NCT06643247
Summary
This small study aims to understand if adding electroacupuncture to standard medication changes how the immune system responds to shingles. Researchers will compare blood samples from 8 female shingles patients, some receiving just medication and others receiving medication plus electroacupuncture, to 3 healthy volunteers. The main goal is to see if the acupuncture treatment causes measurable shifts in immune cells, while also tracking pain levels and how quickly skin lesions heal.
