A Study on the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion Combined with Pulsed Radiofrequency in Preventing Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Trial

Compared with pulsed radiofrequency therapy alone, it can significantly reduce the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia and provide more prolonged pain relief, and also improve patients' sleep disorders.
