Predictive Factors for Postherpetic Neuralgia and Recent Pharmacotherapies

摘要: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a form of refractory chronic that, despite the importance prevention, currently lacks any effective prophylaxis. The efficacy live zoster vaccine in preventing PHN was recently reported [1]. However, this appeared to be limited use prophylaxis[2]. has variety symptoms and significantly affects patient quality life [3-12]. Various studies have statistically analyzed predictive factors for [13-23], but neither obvious pathogenesis nor established treatment been clarified or established. We designed conducted study on premise that statistical identifica‐ tion significant predictors would contribute establishment an evidencebased medicine approach optimal PHN. As result, we our paper “Predictive Factors Neuralgia Using Ordered Logistic Regression Analysis” [24].
