- W2800682998 abstract "Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) for the intercostal nerves (ICNs) in the management of thoracic postherpetic neuralgia. Methods: After 2 weeks of treatment by pregabalin 150 mg/12 hours, patients were randomly allocated into 2 groups. The PRF group, after ultrasound-guided localization of the ICN of the affected thoracic dermatome, sensory stimulation of the ICN was tested. Thereafter, the patient received 2 cycles PRF at 42°C temperature, for 120 seconds. The sham group, after stimulation, the same time was spent to mimic PRF. The same procedures were repeated to the upper and lower adjacent ICNs. Pain intensity using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and total analgesics consumption were assessed at the baseline, every 2 weeks for 6 months then after 9 and 12 months. The duration of effective pain relief was recorded. Quality of life was evaluated using self-evaluation questionnaires (SF-36) at baseline then after 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: PRF group expressed a significant decrease on the VAS throughout the study period. VAS<30 was reported in the PRF group until the 22nd week. Pregabalin and acetaminophen consumption was significantly lower in the PRF group. The 8 domains of the SF-36 revealed a significant improvement in the PRF group when compared with the sham group throughout the study period except for the physical role which displayed nonsignificant improvement. Conclusions: Ultrasound-guided PRF for ICNs in combination with pharmacotherapy seems to be a safe and effective treatment modality for postherpetic neuralgia." @default.
