Abstract:

Herpes zoster virus invades nerves and other tissues, causing herpes zoster pain, which is particularly prevalent among the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Current medications and conventional treatments are ineffective for some patients, significantly affecting their quality of life. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS), a neuromodulation therapy, has emerged as an effective long-term pain management strategy due to its minimally invasive nature, low complication rates, and high adjustability. This paper reviews recent literature on SCS and herpes zoster pain, summarizing the recommended patient population, optimal timing of application, and clinical effectiveness of short-term SCS in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. Additionally, factors influencing the effectiveness of SCS are analyzed to provide reference for clinical practice.

Key words: Herpes zoster neuralgia, Spinal cord stimulation, Effectiveness, Optimal timing, Influencing factor
