About this study
Official title: Risk Factors Analysis of Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Herpes Zoster Neuralgia and Characteristics of Serum Biomarkers and Functional Brain Magnetic Resonance Changes
The goal of this observational study is to explore risk factors of anxiety and depression in patients with herpes zoster neuralgia, and the changes of certain serum biomarkers and functional brain magnetic resonance images of these patients.
Read the detailed description
Patients with herpes zoster neuralgia will be recruited and take Hospital anxiety depression rating scale (Hospital anxiety and 'scale, HADS) evaluation. According to the HADS Scores, patients will be divided into depression group and no depression, or anxiety group and no anxiety group. The clinical data the of two groups will be collected and statistically analyzed to explore the risk factors of anxiety and depression, including the changes of serum biomarkers and functional brain magnetic resonance imaging in patients with herpes zoster neuralgia accompanying anxiety or depression.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yang Shuguang, M.D ((+86)15071078161, yangsuperpro@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
HADS score (time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06449547, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Aug 2024.
