Abstract | PMC10097047 | |||
Introduction | PHN, Herpes zoster | POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA, PHN, HERPES ZOSTER, COMPLICATIONS | Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is one of the most common complications of Herpes zoster (HZ), yet the mechanism and the treatment for PHN remains elusive. We first performed this feasibility study to verify the safety and efficiency of autologous fat grafting into the paravertebral space in early HZ to prevent PHN. | PMC10097047 |
Methods | PHN, rash, pain | PHN | Patients suffering from HZ with a rash in chest, back, or abdomen were arranged for autologous fat grafting to the paravertebral space. The primary endpoint was the incidence of PHN, which was defined as persistence pain in the affected dermal area in 12 weeks after fat grafting. Secondary endpoints including patient‐r... | PMC10097047 |
Results | PHN, pain | ADVERSE EVENTS, EVENTS, PHN | Eight patients accept the intervention and completed all follow‐ups. Most patients report immediate pain relief after injection, one patient has a mild to moderate dizzy symptom after injection. No other short‐ or long‐term adverse events occurred. For primary outcome, all patients have a timely reduced pain intensity,... | PMC10097047 |
Discussion | PHN, rash | PHN | Autologous fat transplantation to the paravertebral space is a safe and feasible technique in preventing PHN from HZ in a rash. Further randomized controlled trial to investigate the actual long‐term benefice of autologous fat grafting to the paravertebral space in preventing PHN is needed. | PMC10097047 |
