  1. Complete remission is defined as a pain score of less than 2 with no further medication. Data are represented as number (% [95% confidence interval]) and were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Adjustments were made for age, sex, location of herpes zoster, days from the onset of rash to procedure, hypertension history, diabetes mellitus history, asthma history, hepatic disease history, kidney disease history, and baseline pain score
