Ultrasound-Guided Infraorbital Nerve Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment for Intractable Postherpetic Neuralgia - A Case Report -
A 60-year-old man presented with pain on the left cheek and lateral nose. The patient had been diagnosed with facial herpes zoster in the left V2 area 6 months previously. Medical treatment was prescribed for 6 months but it had little effect. We blocked the left infraorbital nerve under ultrasound guidance, but pain relief was short term. Therefore, we performed pulsed radiofrequency treatment...
متن کاملUltrasound-Assisted Mental Nerve Block and Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment for Intractable Postherpetic Neuralgia: Three Case Studies
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is one of the most difficult pain syndromes to treat. Invasive treatments may be considered when patients fail to obtain adequate pain relief from noninvasive treatment approaches. Here, we present three cases of PHN in the mandibular branch treated with ultrasound-assisted mental nerve block and pulsed radiofrequency treatment. None of the patients had adequate pai...
متن کاملPulsed radiofrequency to the great occipital nerve for the treatment of intractable postherpetic itch: a case report.
A patient with intractable postherpetic itch lasting for 1 year was reported. The itch was mainly from the left vertex, frontal and ophthalmic regions and extended to the left neck area. The patient had negative response to the ophthalmic nerve block. Under the initial positive response to the great occipital nerve block, pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) was performed on the position of the great oc...
متن کاملEffectiveness and Safety of Pulsed Radiofrequency Treatment Guided by Computed Tomography for Refractory Neuralgia of Infraorbital Nerve: A Pilot Study.
BACKGROUND There is no truly optimal treatment to cure refractory neuralgia of the infraorbital nerve. Recently, nondestructive pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) has become one of the most attractive interventional techniques for painful disorders. However, use of the technique for infraorbital neuralgia has been seldom reported. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this prospective study is to observe the eff...
متن کاملultrasound-guided greater occipital nerve blocks and pulsed radiofrequency ablation for diagnosis and treatment of occipital neuralgia
occipital neuralgia is a condition manifested by chronic occipital headaches and is thought to be caused by irritation or trauma to the greater occipital nerve (gon). treatment for occipital neuralgia includes medications, nerve blocks, and pulsed radiofrequency ablation (prfa). landmark-guided gon blocks are the mainstay in both the diagnosis and treatment of occipital neuralgia. ultrasound is...
