Objective To study the effects of He-Ne laser irradiation combined with microwave on herpes zoster.Method 120 herpes zoster patients were selected at random as samples and divided into 2 groups

the treatment group of 60 patients tveated with combination of He-Ne laser irradiation and microwave

and meanwhile

the reference group of the rest 60 patients with regular microwave treatment.The difference in effects after 15 days was observed and recorded.Results Treatment group has a curing rate of 58.3%

higher than 32.7% of the reference group

with a statistically significant difference（P<0.01）;After two-week follow-up observation

the incidence rate of post-neuralgia was 13.3% in treatment group

lower than 33.4% of reference qroup

which was statistically significant（P<0.01）.Conclusion The combination of He-Ne laser irradiation and microwave is more effective on curing herpes zoster than regular treatment.Moreover

it brings less post-neuralgia.It is worth putting into use in a broad range.
