BACKGROUND Stroke is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and often results in complex sequelae. Peripheral circulation disorders in paralyzed limbs are particularly challenging, presenting as persistent cold sensations and cold-induced pain that severely impair patients' quality of life. This report presents an innovative approach to managing refractory post-stroke limb coldness and pain using computed tomography (CT)-guided sympathetic nerve radiofrequency ablation.

Background: Current studies mostly suggest that hyperhidrosis is caused by relative sympathetic hyperactivity. Sympathetic radiofrequency thermocoagulation is widely used in clinics. Previous studies have demonstrated that surgery at T3 is effective and safe compared with higher levels, so craniofacial hyperhidrosis in our hospital is selected to be treated at T3.

Purpose: This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy of mind-regulating and depression-relieving acupuncture in combination with radiofrequency thermocoagulation of dorsal root ganglion (DRG) for post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).

Methods: PHN patients who presented to the Pain Department of Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from November 2021 to June 2023 were included. The participants were assigned into 2 groups using a random number table: Acupuncture + RFTC (group H, n = 44) group and RFTC (group C, n = 44) group.

Background: Extracranial nonsemilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation in the treatment of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia has significant clinical effects. However, the related risk factors for its recurrence have not been studied.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia after extracranial nonsemilunar ganglion radiofrequency thermocoagulation, and to construct a recurrence prediction model.

Background: Early intervention reduces the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Typical shingles are easy to diagnose; however, there is no clear diagnostic method for neuralgia symptoms manifested before the onset of the rash, which can easily cause misdiagnosis. This not only increases the patient's pain, medical expenses, and mental burden, but more importantly, delays the valuable time for early treatment of shingles, and increases the probability of complications and PHN.
