Comparative long-term efficacy of short-term spinal cord stimulation versus bipolar pulsed radiofrequency for refractory postherpetic neuralgia: a 24 month prospective study

Abstract Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a debilitating neuropathic pain condition that persists after herpes zoster infection, often resistant to conventional medications. This study compares the long-term efficacy and safety of short-term spinal cord stimulation (stSCS) versus bipolar p...
