Botulinum toxin type A in postherpetic neuralgia at the craniofacial region: A case report and literature review

Postherpetic neuralgia in the facial region is a frequent and disabling clinical condition, characterized by the presence of neuropathic pain for more than 3 months after the outbreak of herpes zoster. Pain control is sometimes inadequate and the adverse effects of the interventions are deleterious...

description Postherpetic neuralgia in the facial region is a frequent and disabling clinical condition, characterized by the presence of neuropathic pain for more than 3 months after the outbreak of herpes zoster.
