The treatments for herpetic neuralgia include medication, physical therapy, and psychotherapy. 1. Medication: Lidocaine patch can effectively relieve pain, and its common adverse reactions are itching, erythema and other skin reactions at the site of use. Opioid analgesics such as morphine, oxycodone and fentanyl can effectively relieve herpetic neuralgia, but there are risks of abuse and drug resistance problems. Calcium channel agents such as pregabalin and gabapentin also provide pain relief and also improve sleep and affective disorders, but have adverse effects of drowsiness and dizziness. Tramadol also provides significant relief of herpetic pain. 2. Physical therapy: Nerve blocks and selective nerve destruction can treat pain. Infrared light or ultrashort wave irradiation can also help relieve pain. 3. Psychotherapy: Most patients with herpetic neuralgia suffer from depression or anxiety disorders, which require a combination of psychotherapy and behavioral modification. Patients with herpetic neuralgia need to go to the hospital in time and use medication, or physical or psychological treatment under the guidance of medical professionals.
