Cryocautery of sensitized skin areas for the relief of pain due to post-herpetic neuralgia.

Abstract:

:Fourteen patients whose post-herpetic neuralgia could not be alleviated by conventional methods were treated with cryocautery using a stick of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) applied directly to the hyperesthetic skin areas of the cutaneous scars. Follow-up evaluation revealed that 5 of 14 subjects maintained excellent pain relief and another 5 subjects showed good relief. Ten subjects discontinued further therapeutic procedures after cryocautery even though some low grade pain persisted. We believe that cryocautery of localized skin areas is a valuable method for treating patients with post-herpetic neuralgia who have not been improved by conventional methods. Disadvantages of this procedure are discussed.
