1 | Introduction
Treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is often only partially
effective. If the lesion involves the trigeminal nerve, the
treatment effect
is often more
unsatisfactory[1,2]. We
describe here
an elderly case of trigeminal
postherpetic neuralgia which
successfully treated by
low-temperature plasma technology combined with lateral injection of
trigeminal ganglion.
