Abstract

Adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) can influence energy metabolism. Energy metabolism imbalance is closely associated with the occurrence of neuropathic pain (NeP). Rs10789038 and rs2796498 are genetic polymorphisms of , the gene encoding AMPK, which is closely related to energy metabolism imbalance. This study aimed to explore the relationship between and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in the southwestern Chinese Han population.
