Clinical Efficacy of Pulsed Radiofrequency Combined with Intravenous Lidocaine Infusion in the Treatment of Subacute Herpes Zoster Neuralgia

<div>Comparison of infrared thermograms at T2 and T0 for typical cases in the group treated. (a) Body surface skin temperature on the back of the chest at T0, 35.5. (b) Body surface skin temperature in the right axilla at T0; the arrow indicates the pretreatment infrared thermogram of the painful area, showing a high body surface temperature signal at 35.6°C. (c) Body surface skin temperature on the back of the chest at T2, 34.5. (d) Body surface skin temperature in the right axilla at T2. The arrowed area shows a relatively low-temperature signal of 34.3°C on infrared thermography.</div>
