Risk Factors of Anxiety and Depression in Patients With Herpes Zoster Neuralgia

Recruiting
Conditions
Herpes Zoster
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
Registration Number
NCT06449547
Lead Sponsor
Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
HADS scoreduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Enrolled patients will be first evaluated by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scare questionaire and according to the HADS score, patients will be divided to group with anxiety/depression and group without anxiety/depression.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
IL-6 plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-6 (pg/ml)will be tested.

Interleukin (IL)-1β plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β (pg/ml)will be tested.

C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of CRP(mg/ml)will be tested.

Area under curve (AUC) of topological metrics of functional brain magnetic resonance imagingduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Functional brain magnetic resonance imaging will be performed in patients with anxiety or depression, and area under curve (AUC) of topological metrics including Eglob,Eloc,Cp,Lp,γ,λ and σ will be calculated and analyzed.

IL-2 receptor plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-2 (u/ml)will be tested.

IL-10 plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-10 (pg/ml)will be tested.

Interferon(INF)-α plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines INF-α (pg/ml)will be tested.

IL-8 plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines IL-8 (pg/ml)will be tested.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plasma levelduring hospital stay, average of 1 week

Blood sample will be obtained from enrolled patients and the plasma level of BDNF(pg/ml)will be tested.
