Обзор
Research Objectives Background and Significance: Zoster-associated neuralgia (ZAN) refers to neuropathic pain experienced by herpes zoster (HZ) patients before, during, and after rash resolution, characterized by paroxysmal, lightning-like, or knife-like sensations. Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a common type of chronic pain, is often accompanied by physical-psychological impairments, social dysfunction, and anxiety-depression. While high-voltage long-term pulsed radiofrequency (HL-PRF) has become a conventional treatment for ZAN, it is limited by residual postoperative localized pain and suboptimal efficacy for refractory cases. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB), a sustained-release analgesic providing up to 72 hours of pain relief, offers potential for combined subcutaneous injection to enhance symptomatic control. Study Process: This clinical study focuses on evaluating the efficacy of HL-PRF combined with LB subcutaneous injection in treating ZAN. The trial will be conducted from December 16, 2024, to December 14, 2026, with an anticipated enrollment of 92 participants. Patients will be randomized into two groups: HL-PRF group: Under CT-guided localization, high-voltage pulsed radiofrequency (HL-PRF) therapy was precisely delivered to the pathologically compromised dorsal root ganglion (DRG). HL-PRF+LB group: HL-PRF treatment followed by LB subcutaneous injection at the painful lesion site 2 hours post-procedure. Clinical data will be collected preoperatively, and inflammatory factors will be assessed on the first postoperative day. Follow-up evaluations via telephone will occur at 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. By analyzing changes in observed indicators before and after treatment, this study aims to determine the clinical efficacy of combining HL-PRF with LB subcutaneous injection for ZAN.
