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.
