“…The data distribution showed that postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) was the most common type of pain (94 patients [48.4%]), followed by spinal stenosis (20 patients [9.8%]), chronic postoperative pain (12 patients [6.2%]), cervical spondylosis (11 patients [5.7%]), disk herniation (seven patients [3.6%]), and traumatic nerve injury (seven patients [3.6%]; Table 3 ). Kosson et al (2019) reported that the types of pain were osteoarticular pain (146 patients [44.92%]), neuropathic pain (139 patients [42.77%]), headache (43 patients [13.23%]), and other types of pain (21 patients [6.46%]) [ 29 ]. Their findings were similar to our data, in which 48.4% of patients had neuropathic pain.…”
