内容简介

This ultra concise guide presents a brief overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Uniquely compact and affordable, this guide covers the use of antivirals and vacines in preventing PHN as well as treatment options once PHN occurs, including both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. In addition, the book provides actual pain assessment tools such as the Short-Form McGill Questionnaire and the Zoster Brief Pain inventory, ready for practical use in the clinical setting.
