Ultrasound combined with DSA-guided pulsed radiofrequency for perineal herpes zoster pain management: clinical outcomes and complications
PRF can reduce pain from HZ in the perineal region, alleviate central sensitization, enhance sleep quality, and improve overall quality of life. When PRF is performed under ultrasound guidance combined with DSA, it shortens the puncture time and reduces the risk of hematoma formation at the puncture site, making it the recommended method for clinical use.
