Effects of Intradermal Botulinum Toxin Injections on Herpes Zoster Related Neuralgia.

Authors

Peng F, Xia TB

Abstract

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), which represents the most common chronic complication of herpes zoster, is characterized by intense pain and is difficult to treat. In fact, no treatments are currently available that can effectively reduce the pain associated with PHN. Recent evidence has been presented indicating that Botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) can serve as an effective and safe treatment for peripheral neuropathic pain.
