Causal links between blood inflammation markers and postherpetic neuralgia risk: insights from a two-sample Mendelian randomization study [PDF]
Frontiers in NeurologyIntroductionPrevious studies have suggested an association between blood inflammation-related factors and postherpetic neuralgia. However, the causal relationship between blood inflammation-related factors and postherpetic neuralgia remains unclear ...

Predictors of Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Prospective Study From Eastern Nepal. [PDF]
J Cosmet DermatolABSTRACT Background Herpes zoster (HZ) is a viral infection with severe acute and chronic pain. This study was aimed at determining the incidence rate of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). The objectives of the study were to understand the epidemiology of HZ and to identify the risk factors for PHN at a referral hospital in eastern Nepal.

Comparison of Duloxetine Supplemented With Pregabalin and Amitriptyline Supplemented With Pregabalin for the Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Double-Blind, Randomized Crossover Trial. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci TherThis is a double‐blind, randomized, crossover trial involving PHN patients. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and tolerability of duloxetine combined with pregabalin and amitriptyline combined with pregabalin in the treatment of PHN, as well as their impact on sleep and quality of life in patients with PHN.

Contemporary management of pain in cirrhosis: Toward precision therapy for pain
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Chronic pain is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis and is associated with poor health‐related quality of life and poor functional status. However, there is limited guidance on appropriate pain management in this population, and pharmacologic treatment can be harmful, leading to adverse outcomes, such as gastrointestinal bleeding ...

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Background Patients with pudendal neuralgia (PN) experience long‐lasting chronic pain, hyperalgesia, and comorbid emotional disorders, such as depression and anxiety. Treatment via conventional pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) current carries a significantly high rate of failure.

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 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 ...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of risk factors for postherpetic neuralgia. [PDF]
, 2015 Patients with herpes zoster can develop persistent pain after rash healing, a complication known as postherpetic neuralgia. By preventing zoster through vaccination, the risk of this common complication is reduced.

Ultrasound-guided supraorbital radiofrequency ablation for V1 postherpetic neuralgia
Indian Journal of Pain, 2021 Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) affecting the first division of the trigeminal nerve (TrN) (V1) is a difficult to manage condition, characterized by neuropathic symptoms such as burning sensation, allodynia, and hyperalgesia that continues even after the ...

Varicella-Zoster viruses associated with post-herpetic neuralgia induce sodium current density increases in the ND7-23 Nav-1.8 neuroblastoma cell line [PDF]
, 2013 Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is the most significant complication of herpes zoster caused by reactivation of latent Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV). We undertook a heterologous infection in vitro study to determine whether PHN-associated VZV isolates ...
