Postherpetic Neuralgia — Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention
Abstract
Spontaneous pain, pain provoked by trivial stimuli, and altered sensation accompany herpes zoster and may continue long after its characteristic rash has healed — a condition known as postherpetic neuralgia. Many approaches have been proposed to treat the pain of acute zoster, to avert its progression to postherpetic neuralgia, and to alleviate postherpetic neuralgia. Few of these approaches have been proved beneficial, and postherpetic neuralgia remains a source of frustration for both patients and physicians. In this article, we summarize current knowledge of the pathogenesis of postherpetic neuralgia and developments in its treatment and prevention.Clinical DiseaseHerpes zoster typically . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
