- Abstract
This article discusses the efficacy of high-voltage, long-duration pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for the treatment of acute herpes zoster-related trigeminal neuralgia in a patient with a permanent pacemaker. The study focuses on the use of PRF as a neuroregulatory approach for managing herpes zoster neuralgia and postherpetic neuralgia. The authors present a case study of an 83-year-old female patient with intractable trigeminal neuralgia who underwent high-voltage, long-duration PRF treatment, which resulted in immediate pain relief and sustained pain reduction for six months. The article emphasizes the need for comprehensive preoperative evaluation and careful surgical planning when considering this treatment option for patients with permanent pacemakers. Further research is needed to establish the safety and efficacy of this treatment on a larger scale.
