Department of Painology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Background: Zoster-associated neuralgia refers to neuropathic pain from herpes zoster, which can persist as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Preventing the progression to chronic PHN is crucial, yet optimal interventions is still not clear.
Objectives: This study evaluates the efficacy of short-term spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) in patients with subacute and chronic PHN.

Department of Pain Management, West China Hospital/West China Tianfu Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of a higher-voltage long-duration pulsed radiofrequency (HL-PRF) treatment for managing zoster-associated pain (ZAP) compared to standard treatment.
- Patients in Group A received gradually increased voltage up to 100 V, while Group B maintained a steady 65 V throughout.
- Results focused on pain levels, emotional well-being, and quality of life over 12 weeks, with an aim to address high recurrence rates associated with the existing methods.

Herpes zoster-associated pain is a difficult-to-treat pathologic pain that seriously affects patients' quality of life. In recent years, emerging therapeutic techniques such as autologous platelet-rich plasma, sympathetic nerve block and pulsed radiofrequency have been gradually applied in the field of pain with the advantages of less trauma, quicker recovery and significant efficacy. These therapeutic options have become a new hope for the treatment of herpes zoster-associated pain.
