Risk Factors Analysis of Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Herpes Zoster Neuralgia and Characteristics of Serum Biomarkers and Functional Brain Magnetic Resonance Changes

Overview

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.

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.

Interventions

  • Diagnostic test Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
    Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire is used to test patients for anxiety and depression.

Primary outcome measures

  • HADS score [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
  • Interleukin (IL)-1β plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • IL-2 receptor plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • IL-6 plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • IL-8 plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • IL-10 plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • Interferon(INF)-α plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma level [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
  • Area under curve (AUC) of topological metrics of functional brain magnetic resonance imaging [Time frame: during hospital stay, average of 1 week]
