The main risk factor for postherpetic neuralgia is increasing age; it is uncommon in people under 50 years, but develops in 20% of people aged 60-65 years who have had acute herpes zoster, and in more than 30% of those people aged over 80 years. Up to 2% of people with acute herpes zoster may continue to have postherpetic pain for 5 years or more.We ...

The prognosis with postherpetic neuralgia
Pain, 1991One hundred and fifty-six patients with moderate to severe postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) were followed for up to 11 years. Nearly half of all patients were doing well at the final assessment (median 2 years) and more than half of these were on no therapy at this time.

Postherpetic pain persisting one month or longer occurs in 9% to 14% of patients with herpes zoster, diminishing with time. The incidence and duration are directly related to age. The pathologic features have been described but the pathogenesis of postherpetic neuralgia is unknown. Treatment remains difficult.

CHRONIC POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA
Journal of the American Medical Association, 1956• The course of postherpetic neuralgia was studied in 35 patients, some of whom had suffered severely for more than three years. All of the patients were over 40 years of age. The sexes were almost equally affected. The thoracic nerves were involved most frequently, and the trigeminal nerves next. Five patients with trigeminal involvement were treated

Treatment of Postherpetic Neuralgia
Drugs, 2000Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic pain syndrome that is often refractory to treatment and can last for years, causing physical and social disability, psychological distress, and increased use of the healthcare system.

Treatment of postherpetic neuralgia
Current Pain and Headache Reports, 2005Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) remains one of the most troublesome common chronic neuropathic pain conditions. Many controlled trials have been published showing good efficacy and reasonable tolerability. These include gabapentinoids, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and topical lidocaine and capsaicin. Combination therapies are possible, but have not
