Patients with pain caused by shingles can take pain medication, but often general pain medication is ineffective. Because it is a neuropathic pain, it requires strong pain medication to be more effective, such as tramadol, opioids, etc. The real treatment of herpes zoster neuralgia is more effective with neuromodulating drugs. If the treatment is not effective, you can also go to the pain department to receive treatment and choose nerve block therapy, radiofrequency neuromodulation therapy, spinal cord electrical stimulation therapy, etc. This can also effectively relieve postherpetic neuralgia.
