Abstract

Herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) are often refractory to current standard treatments and can reduce patients' quality of life (QoL). Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) effectively controls intractable neurological pain. The aim of the study is to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of PRF in PHN management.
