Prednisolone does not prevent post-herpetic neuralgia.

In a randomised, double-blind, controlled study of the effect of prednisolone on the development of post-herpetic neuralgia 78 patients with herpes zoster whose pain and exanthema had been present for less than 96 h were given 800 mg acyclovir five times daily for 7 days and prednisolone in a total dose of 575 mg, starting with 40 mg daily in the first week and tapering off over the next 2 weeks. 18 (23%) of the patients had post-herpetic neuralgia at 6 months after the acute zoster, 9 (24.3%) having received prednisolone and 9 (22.5%) placebo. The 95% CI for the difference between the placebo…

[Non discal surgical sciatic neuralgia (author's transl)].

Non discal sciatic neuralgia accounts for 5 per cent of all cases of surgical sciatica. They are divided into four groups: central sciatica very seldom, cordal and root sciatica more common and truncal sciatica. These sciatica are dominated by atypical clinical features: atypical provoking factor, atypical character, atypical topography and therapy. A good x-rays study is necessary involving myelography, angiography of the spine etc., but discography and lumbar phlebography are not useful. A rapid review of aetiologies shows that they cover a wide area and that therapy must be debated for each…

[Lithium therapy in Horton's neuralgia: preliminary results].

Prophylactic use of Lithium salts in patient suffering from cluster headaches has been evaluated looking at the mean number of headache attacks in one critical period and the mean weekly duration of the period itself. These two elements have been compared to those observed on other drugs treatments. Plasma Lithium monitoring has been performed weekly during the trial. Authors discuss the results reported and the hypothetic basis of them.

Experience and Efficacy Evaluation of Microvascular Decompression and Selective Nerve Root Dissection in the Treatment of Trigeminal Neuralgia Combined With Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia.

PURPOSE: This study analyzes the diagnostic challenges and treatment methods for trigeminal neuralgia (TN) concurrent with glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN), particularly the application and efficacy of selective glossopharyngeal rhizotomy in addressing this complex condition. METHODS: The study reviews the clinical data of 53 patients with TN concurrent with GPN who were treated at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Ninth People's Hospital affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 2011 to 2022. These patients underwent microvascular decompressi…

Evaluating the diagnostic role of magnetic resonance imaging in trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia: A controlled blinded study.

INTRODUCTION: Hyperactive dysfunction syndromes (HDS)-including trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia-are typically associated with neurovascular compression (NVC) at the cranial nerve root entry/exit zone. MRI is widely employed to detect NVC, although its diagnostic reliability remains controversial, as NVC may also be observed in asymptomatic individuals, while in some symptomatic patients, radiological evidence can be absent. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can preoperative MRI reliably identify NVC in HDS patients undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD), and how …

Прогноз постгерпетической невралгии у пациентов с острой и субакутативной герпетической невралгией с использованием структурной магнитной резонации: ретроспективное исследование.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Настоящее исследование позволило объединить структурное магнитно-резонансное изображение мозга с клиническими характеристиками для выявления "уязвимых районов мозга" и факторов риска, связанных с развитием постгерпетической нейронгии (PHN) у пациентов с острой и субацетической герпетической невралгией. Кроме того, в ходе исследования были изучены совокупные прогнозные характеристики этих нейроимулирующих и клинических показателей. МЕТОДЫ: В период с февраля 2023 года по январь 2025 года было зарегистрировано в общей сложности 214 госпитализированных пациентов с острой и субнасыщенной

INTRODUCTION: This study integrated structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) of the brain with clinical characteristics to identify the "vulnerable brain regions" and risk factors associated with the development of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) in patients with acute and subacute herpetic neuralgia. Furthermore, the study explored the combined predictive …

Combined hyperactive dysfunction syndrome of the cranial nerves: trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasm, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia: 11-year experience and review.

OBJECTIVE: A pathological condition caused by vascular compression at the root entry/exit zone of the cranial nerves is designated hyperactive dysfunction syndrome (HDS) of the cranial nerves. Patients with HDS who exhibited a combination of trigeminal neuralgia (TN), hemifacial spasm (HFS), and/or glossopharyngeal neuralgia were retrospectively reviewed, to study the incidence, etiological factors, and demographic characteristics for this combined HDS group. METHODS: Medical and surgical records were analyzed for 41 patients with combined HDS, of 1472 consecutive patients with HDS who were t…
