Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) remains one of the most troublesome common chronic neuropathic pain conditions. Many controlled trials have been published showing good efficacy and reasonable tolerability. These include gabapentinoids, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and topical lidocaine and capsaicin. Combination therapies are possible, but have not been proven, and long-term follow-up is limited. Only few case series exist for surgical and other invasive therapies and their role remains uncertain.
带状疱疹后神经痛（PHN）仍然是最棘手的常见慢性神经性疼痛病症之一。许多对照试验已经发表，显示出良好的疗效和合理的耐受性。这些药物包括加巴喷丁类药物、阿片类药物、三环类抗抑郁药以及局部用利多卡因和辣椒素。联合治疗是可行的，但尚未得到证实，且长期随访有限。关于手术和其他侵入性治疗的病例系列很少，其作用仍不确定。
