Treatment of shingles

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox.

Shingles pain, resulting from the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, can range from mild to intense and may manifest as burning, tingling, or itching that typically precedes the appearance of a rash

Pain may last for several weeks or it could persist for more than three months after the rash has cleared, it may be diagnosed as postherpetic neuralgia. Treatment for postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) often involves a combination of medications and therapies such as Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) to manage pain effectively.
