Quantification of risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia in herpes zoster patients: A cohort study. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: To investigate risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia, the neuropathic pain that commonly follows herpes zoster. METHODS: Using primary care data from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink, we fitted multivariable logistic regression models

A randomised sham-controlled study evaluating rTMS analgesic efficacy for postherpetic neuralgia
Context Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a refractory neuropathic pain condition in which new treatment options are being developed. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may have the potential to reduce pain sensations in patients with ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of independent risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia.
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore the independent risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). METHODS Related studies of PHN risk factors were searched in PubMed for screening and meta-analysis.

Abstract Objective Trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is often refractory to treatment. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) neuromodulation can help in preventing PHN after herpes zoster. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of two different PRF modes on gasserian ganglion neuromodulation in elderly patients with acute/subacute trigeminal ...

Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is common in elderly patients and can be alleviated by pulsed radiofrequency (PRF). However, PRF treatments display different efficacy on different nerves. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and
