Abstract

Post-herpetic neuralgia(PHN) is a chronic pain syndrome associated with the reactivation of a primary infection with varicella zoster virus(chinken pox), which leads to a chronic infection of dorsal root ganglia. The most common risk factor for shingles and its potential sequela, PHN, is advanced age. For a significant number of patients, the pain following healing of shingles can persist for months to years. If this pain, classified as PHN, persists longer than one month. PHN often leads to depression, disrupted sleep, decreased productivity, and utilization of health care. We treated a 60 year-old female patient who suffered pain and headache after Stellate Ganglion Blocks(SGB). In identifying points for differentiation of syndrom(Ü©ñû), this subject was diagnosed as Yangmyeong Merdian wind-heat syndrom(åÕÙ¥Ìèù¦æðñû) and was administered Seungmagalgeuntanggamibang(revised Shengmagalgen-tang, ã®Ø«ÊçÐÆ÷·Ê¥Ú«Û°). To ease pain, Western medication was administered as well. After fourteen days of treatment, pain and other symptoms improved.
