The Effectiveness of Various Types of Electrical Stimulation of the Spinal Cord for Chronic Pain in Patients with Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Literature Review

Spinal cord stimulation is an established treatment option for patients with pharmacologically resistant PHN. High-frequency stimulation, burst stimulation, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation are promising options in the management of PHN due to the absence of paresthesias which can be painful for patients with PHN. But more research is still required to recommend the widespread use of these new methods.
