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.

The treatment of postherpetic neuralgia

Neurology, 1995
Postherpetic neuralgia, when defined as neuropathic pain persisting 1 month or longer after herpes zoster infection, affects about 10% of all patients who have contracted the disease. The incidence of postherpetic neuralgia increases with age; at age 60, about 50% of herpes zoster patients will suffer significant pain, and this proportion grows with ...

Gabapentin

CNS Drugs, 2003
Gabapentin is a structural analogue of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) approved for use in adults with postherpetic neuralgia. Gabapentin does not bind to GABA(A) or GABA(B) receptors. Its mechanism of action in humans is unclear, but may involve binding to alpha2delta calcium channel subunits in animal models.

Current Management of Postherpetic Neuralgia

The Neurologist, 2002
The herpes zoster rash occurs when a dormant varicella zoster virus reactivates in dorsal root and cranial nerve ganglia. Pain that persists in the region where this rash occurred after the cutaneous lesions have healed is termed postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
