Postherpetic Neuralgia

2023
Abstract This is a brief abstract of postherpetic neuralgia. Post-herpetic neuralgia can be a troubling diagnosis, but it is also known as a classic example of a neuropathic pain condition and is well studied. It provides a clear example of how a peripheral nerve change can lead to dysfunction of the central nervous system.

Despiramine Relieves Postherpetic Neuralgia

Survey of Anesthesiology, 1990
Desipramine has the least anticholinergic and sedative effects of the first generation tricyclic antidepressant agents, but its pain-relieving potential has received little study. Other antidepressant agents--notably amitriptyline--are known to ameliorate postherpetic neuralgia, but those agents are often toxic.
