POST HERPETIC NEURALGIA

Nerve Pain Treatment After Shingles | Post-Herpetic Neuralgia Relief

Advanced Care for Persistent Burning Nerve Pain (Post-Herpetic Neuralgia)

Persistent pain after shingles can be distressing and long-lasting. This condition, known as post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), causes ongoing nerve pain even after the skin rash has healed.

At our Pain Management Centre, we specialize in advanced, non-surgical treatment for post-herpetic neuralgia, offering targeted interventional pain procedures along with comprehensive care to improve quality of life.

Post-herpetic neuralgia is a chronic nerve pain condition that occurs after an episode of shingles (herpes zoster infection).

Burning, sharp, or stabbing pain

Extreme sensitivity to touch (even light clothing can cause pain)

Tingling or numbness

Persistent pain in the area of previous rash

Sleep disturbance due to pain

This condition can significantly affect daily comfort and emotional well-being.

After shingles, the affected nerve may remain irritated or damaged, leading to continuous pain signals even after the infection resolves.

Increasing age

Severe shingles episode

Weakened immunity

1. Medical Management

Initial treatment may include medications that calm nerve pain. However:

Some patients experience inadequate relief

Long-term use may cause side effects

For persistent or severe pain, interventional pain management offers more effective solutions.

Advanced Interventional Pain Procedures for PHN

We offer targeted, minimally invasive procedures to directly address nerve pain.

Nerve Blocks (Targeted Pain Relief)

Nerve blocks involve delivering targeted therapy near the affected nerve to reduce pain signals.

Rapid pain relief

Helps break the pain cycle

Improves sleep and comfort

Can be repeated if needed

Radiofrequency Ablation (RF Ablation)

RF ablation is used to provide longer-lasting relief by modifying pain signal transmission in the affected nerves.

Long-term pain control

Minimally invasive

Image-guided precision

Reduces dependency on medications

Advanced Neuromodulation Techniques

In selected patients, advanced techniques may be used to control chronic nerve pain effectively.
