Postherpetic neuralgia

This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block, using a steroid and local anesthetic, could better control pain from shingles and prevent postherpetic neuralgia (long-term nerve pain). 100 adults with acute shingles and moderate to severe pain were randomly assigned t…

This study tested whether a diode laser can act as a biomarker to measure neuropathic pain in people with peripheral neuropathy. Researchers compared pain responses to a lidocaine patch versus a placebo patch in 75 participants. The goal was to see if the laser test could disting…

This study tested whether NT 201 injections can reduce pain in adults with long-term nerve pain caused by shingles or a nerve injury. 123 people received either NT 201 or a placebo shot, and researchers tracked their pain levels over 20 weeks. The goal was to see if the treatment…

This study tested an experimental drug called LX9211 in 79 adults with postherpetic neuralgia, a type of nerve pain that can last for months after a shingles rash heals. The goal was to see if the drug reduces pain and helps with sleep compared to a placebo over 11 weeks. Partici…

This completed trial tested whether electroacupuncture (acupuncture with a mild electric current) can reduce pain in people with postherpetic neuralgia, a lingering nerve pain after shingles. 448 adults aged 45-75 with moderate-to-severe pain were randomly assigned to real or sha…

This study looked at whether a targeted ultrasound-guided nerve block (SPSIPB) can reduce pain in people with postherpetic neuralgia, a chronic pain condition that can linger after shingles. Researchers reviewed records of 34 adults who received this injection and measured pain l…

This Phase 2 trial tested whether a single dose of KAI-1678 can reduce pain in people with postherpetic neuralgia, a type of nerve pain that lingers after shingles. 23 adults with stable pain levels received either KAI-1678, a placebo, or lidocaine. The main goal was to see if pa…

This study looked at 77 adults with long-term nerve pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) to see if a spinal nerve stimulation device works better for certain types of pain. Researchers grouped patients by their pain features and measured pain levels, quality of life, and …

This study looked at health records of nearly 69,000 adults aged 40 and older to see if those who develop lasting nerve pain after shingles (postherpetic neuralgia) have a higher chance of getting dementia later. Researchers compared people with and without this nerve pain, match…

This study reviewed medical records of 60 adults who had radiofrequency treatment for intercostal neuralgia, a type of nerve pain in the chest wall. The goal was to find out which patient or clinical factors are linked to better pain relief after the procedure. Researchers measur…

This study looked at 151 adults with shingles to find clues that might predict who will develop lasting nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia). Researchers collected blood samples and health information at the start and checked for pain three months later. The goal was to create a r…
