Recently, the use of pulsed radiofrequency has increased in many chronic pain conditions, including trigeminal neuralgia, chronic spinal pain, musculoskeletal pain, and it was recently used effectively for postherpetic neuralgia. Transforaminal epidural steroid injection has been proven in previous studies to provide effective analgesia for cases of herpes zoster-related pain. We hypothesize that the combined use of pulsed RF and steroid injection applied to the DRG may achieve better outcomes than the use of epidural steroid injection alone.
