Summary

This study tests whether injecting a numbing medicine and steroids into tender spots can reduce pain from shingles better than standard antiviral drugs alone. About 136 adults with severe shingles pain for less than 90 days will take part. The main goal is to see if this treatment lowers the chance of long-term nerve pain after one year.
