“…The most recent burst of keywords included “pulsed radiofrequency,” “prevention,” “herpes zoster,” and “dorsal root ganglion.” It is suggested that pulsed radiofrequency is a novel and secure approach to pain management. [ 53 ] Specifically, it has been increasingly utilized for the relief of PHN in recent years, demonstrating both safety and efficacy. [ 54 ] For “prevention,” the prevention of PHN has been a prominent area of research in recent years, with a focus on interventions such as vaccination, [ 55 ] gabapentinoids, [ 56 ] epidural block.…”

Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) represents a notable clinical challenge as it is the most prevalent and severe complication of herpes zoster (HZ). The primary objective was to investigate the current research status and hotspots of PHN research during the period from 2000 to 2022. The literature pertaining to PHN was gathered through the utilization of the Web of Science Core Collection, spanning from January 2000 to December 2022. The software, CiteSpace version 6.2.R2, was employed to produce visual depictions of publications related to PHN across various dimensions such as year, country/region, institution, journal, author, keyword, and reference. This study involved a total of 3505 papers. The USA held a dominant position in the production of scholarly articles. Argentina exhibited the highest frequency of participation in international collaboration. Out of all the institutions, Pfizer exhibited the highest degree of productivity. Harvard University exhibited the highest frequency of participation in international collaboration. The Pain exhibited the most noteworthy productivity rate and citation count among all other journals. Ralf Baron was identified as the most productive author, whereas DWORKIN RH attained the highest citation count. Contemporary scholarly investigations are predominantly centered on identifying risk factors, devising preventative measures, and exploring novel and secure methods of pain management. The current investigation has revealed the focal areas and patterns of studies pertaining to PHN. Presently, the research in this field is focused on identifying the risk factors and preventive measures for PHN, alongside exploring novel and secure pain management strategies.

“…However, in some patients, the pain can be chronic and persist for several years. There are cases where pain also recurs after the initial resolution [4]. Thus, PLP can be severe and difficult to control and must be differentiated from the pain that often appears on the amputation stump due to the inflammatory process inherent in surgical trauma [2,5,6].…”

“…Among the treatments used, combined pharmacotherapy can be included, that is, the use of analgesic and anti-depressant medicines, invasive methods, psychotherapy and rehabilitation [4,6,7]. Physiotherapy is important at all stages and electrotherapy is used in amputee rehabilitation [4,[8][9][10]. The forms of therapy which can be useful to reduce PLP, include direct intraneural stimulation, electroacupuncture, biofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and vibration therapy, among others [11].…”

“…Although PLP is a topic discussed in the scientific literature, in recent years, due to its complex nature, there is no exclusive treatment scheme which take into account individual needs [4]. With this in mind, a greater depth in the scientific field with the issue of relief from PLP this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of the use of electrostimulation.…”

Introduction and Objective.In people who have undergone amputation, it is common to have phantom pain, which drastically reduces the quality of life. Electrostimulation is a valuable non-invasive clinical technique in which electrical stimuli are applied to the patient to promote symptomatic relief of pain of various origins. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the use of electrostimulation for phantom limb pain relief in amputees. Review Methods. 1,004 articles were found in databases. After exclusion of duplicate articles, in an automatic and manual way, Phase 1 was carried out -reading of titles and abstracts of 592 articles according to the eligibility criteria by 2 blinded reviewers using the Rayyan QCRI programme; conflicts were resolved in consensus between the 2 reviewers. Thus, 31 articles were selected for Phase 2 -reading in full, leaving 3 articles in this review. The Cochrane Robins 1 instrument was used to assess the quality of bias of the selected studies. Brief description of the state of knowledge. Three studies were included, with a total number of participants of 56 individuals. All 3 studies showed a reduction in phantom limb pain; however, the overall risk of bias ranged from serious to moderate, which can create doubts with respect to the results observed by the primary researchers. Summary. Electrostimulation has been shown to be effective in reducing the effects of phantom limb pain, although the number of articles found was small and the risk of bias significant.
