| Abstract: | Herpes zoster is a common illness in aged patients that is characterized by shingles and severe segmental pain. The nature and duration of the illness is highly variable, and it is also very difficult to relieve. This review of pain in acute herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia analyzes clinical observations and describes new treatments that have the potential to improve the lives of patients who suffer from these two illnesses. |
