Abstract

We present a case of prolonged post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), successfully treated by Uyaku-junki-san-ryo. A 76-year-old woman was referred for PHN for 5 months. Her pain was confined to the area of the maxillary nerve, and waving smart pains trouble her greatly, all day long. The stellate block or the administration of carbamazepine did not avail against her pain at a nearby hospital. She visited our hospital on ******, the degree of her pain was expressed as 7.0cm/10.0cm in visual analogue scale (VAS). We utilized Uyaku-junki-san-ryo three times a day. The therapy of Uyaku junki-san-ryo resulted in the improvement of her pain, as well as the increase of her quality of life (QOL). Additionally, her VAS score was diminished from 7cm to 2cm, after two months.<br>This case demonstrates that Uyaku-junki-san-ryo may be a useful agent for the treatment of PHN.
