Observations on the evolution of the melanocortin receptor gene family: distinctive features of the melanocortin-2 receptor.

abstract：Background:Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a form of long-lasting neuropathic pain that can severely affect patients' quality of life. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) has been proven to be effective in treating PHN, but the optimal radiofrequency parameters are still not well defined. This retrospective study aimed to comp...
