Shingles also known as herpes zoster or zona is defined as a viral disease with condition of a painful, blistering skin rash on one side of the body of that can continue to be painful even after the
rash have long
disappeared(1), as a result of varicella-zoster viral causes of a nerve and skin inflammation.
Treatments
A. In the conventional medicine perspective
1. Topical cream
Some researchers suggest that the lidocaine plaster could be at least as effective as
systemic pregabalin in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia and
painful diabetic polyneuropathy. Open-label studies indicate efficacy in
the treatment of other localized neuropathic pain conditions, such as painful idiopathic sensory polyneuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome sequelae, postsurgical and posttraumatic pain. Quality of life markedly improved in a variety of neuropathic pain conditions and long-term treatment provided sustained relief in patients with neuropathic pain
who are responsive to lidocaine plaster. The lidocaine plaster is
usually well tolerated. The risk of systemic adverse events and
pharmacokinetic interactions with concomitant medication is minimal
owing to low systemic exposure(d)
2. Other medication
Dr. Kofoed K. and the team of researchers at the Dermato-venerologisk
Afdeling D41, Bispebjerg Hospital, showed that Post-herpetic neuralgia
(PHN) is persistent pain three months after the
rash started. In recent years several Cochrane reviews and clinical
studies on how to treat HZ and PHN have been published. These studies
show that early recognition and treatment can reduce acute symptoms,
that antiviral therapy and corticosteroids shorten the acute illness
period, that opioids and anticonvulsants have effect on acute HZ pain
and, finally, that tricyclic antidepressants, opioids and
anticonvulsants all have proven efficiency in PHN therapy.(e)
