水冷射频治疗头面部难治性带状疱疹后神经痛

摘要

Objective: To investigate the clinical feasibility of cooled radiofrequency treatment on refractory craniofacial postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). Methods: Eleven refractory craniofacial PHN patients formerly treated with conventional radiofrequency ineffectively underwent cooled radiofrequency treatment. The degree of pain ( numeric rating scales , NRS ) and the complications were recorded before and after the treatment. Results: NRS significantly decreased after the treatment (p < 0.01 ). No serious complications were observed. Conclusion :The cooled radiofrequency treatment on refractory craniofacial PHN is effective and safe.%目的:评估水冷射频治疗头面部难治性带状疱疹后神经痛的临床可行性.方法:对11例头面部难治性带状疱疹后神经痛、经传统射频治疗后效果欠佳患者行水冷射频治疗,记录治疗前及治疗后1天、7天、14天、1个月和6个月时疼痛数字评分(NRS)及并发症发生情况.结果:患者治疗后NRS显著下降(P＜0.01),术后出现治疗局部软组织肿胀,1～2周内缓解.结论:水冷射频治疗头面部难治性带状疱疹后神经痛效果确切、安全.
