Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a chronic pain syndrome occurring after a herpes zoster (HZ) outbreak, also known as shingles. Treatment is complex, and no effective treatment exists today. Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has previously shown promise in treating PHN, but no randomised controlled trial has been performed.This RCT aimed to investigate the effect of autologous fat grafting on postherpetic neuralgia compared to a sham treatment.
