Description
Summary:Acute herpetic neuralgia has a profound negative impact on functional status and quality of life and usually results in substantial health service utilization. [...]as the duration of pain increases in the first episode, the rate of recurrence increases. [...]reader ask: “What other methods of analgesia were used with their ESP block technique up to the one month follow up period?” Primarily, we indicated that patient's VAS score decreased to 0/10 at the 15th minute, 30th minute and the next day following ESP block. [...]anyone who makes an in-plane technique ESP block from caudal to cranial knows that; our needle entry point always remains one or two level below of the transverse process.
