Trigeminal ganglion electrical stimulation relieves refractory trigeminal herpes zoster and prevents postherpetic neuralgia: a case report

These cases demonstrate that trigeminal ganglion electrical stimulation can provide rapid and sustained pain relief while preventing postherpetic neuralgia in refractory trigeminal herpes zoster patients. This highlights the potential of trigeminal ganglion electrical stimulation as a novel therapeutic approach, particularly for patients who do not respond to conventional treatments. Its success in these cases suggests a promising direction for further research and clinical application.
