Brief Summary:
This multicenter RCT aims to compare the efficacy and safety of Brivudine versus Famciclovir in treating acute herpes zoster. Primary objective: Evaluate pain reduction via Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) at Day 30. Secondary objectives: Compare NPRS at Day 3/Day 7/Day 14/Day 90, time to lesion resolution, Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) incidence, and safety.
Detailed Description:
A randomized controlled trial enrolling 140 participants from 5 centers in China. Patients receive either Brivudine (125mg/day) or Famciclovir (dose-adjusted by creatinine clearance) for 7 days. Follow-ups occur at Day 3, Day 7, Day 14, Day 30, Day 90. Primary endpoint: Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) at Day 30; secondary endpoints: NPRS at other timepoints, lesion healing time, Postherpetic Neuralgia (PHN) rate, and adverse events.
