What is Postherpetic Neuralgia Prognosis Insights about?
Postherpetic neuralgia occurs in 2-40% of patients depending on age after a herpes zoster infection, with older patients having a higher risk. Most cases resolve within 3 months, and by 1 year less than 10% of patients over 70 still have mild pain and only 2% have moderate pain, with no patients experiencing severe pain. While postherpetic neuralgia can persist for years in a small number of patients, it rarely recurs after initial resolution.
