Summary
This study tests a new type of pulsed radiofrequency (called STP) against the regular version for treating postherpetic neuralgia, the nerve pain that lingers after shingles. One hundred adults with pain lasting over a month will be randomly assigned to one of the two procedures. The main goal is to see which method reduces pain better using a standard pain scale.

What this could lead to
