Efficacy and Effectiveness of the Recombinant Zoster Vaccine Against Herpes Zoster, Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus, Postherpetic Neuralgia and Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis [PDF]

Rev Med Virol
ABSTRACT Herpes zoster (HZ, shingles) constitutes a significant public health concern, particularly in ageing populations, and there is growing global interest in the recombinant zoster vaccine (RZV) from a public health perspective. In this systematic review with meta‐analysis, we assessed the efficacy and effectiveness of RZV against HZ and its ...

Trigeminal ganglion electrical stimulation relieves refractory trigeminal herpes zoster and prevents postherpetic neuralgia: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports
Introduction Herpes zoster is an acute condition caused by the reactivation of varicella zoster virus, often affecting the skin and mucosa. When varicella zoster virus invades the trigeminal ganglion, it can lead to trigeminal herpes zoster, with ...

Causal links between blood inflammation markers and postherpetic neuralgia risk: insights from a two-sample Mendelian randomization study [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionPrevious 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 ...

Acyclovir and postherpetic neuralgia

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1990
Studies have demonstrated the benefit of acyclovir, given intravenously or orally, on the acute illness in herpes zoster (HZ). Whether or not such treatment influences the subsequent development of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) has been the subject of recent controversy.

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 ...

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 ...

The Clinical Efficacy of High‐Voltage Long‐Duration Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment in Pudendal Neuralgia: A Retrospective Study

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.
