Predicting Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic PVB Success in Herpetic Neuralgia
Sponsor: Beni-Suef University
Summary
This study aims to fill the knowledge gap by investigating the predictors of success for TPVB in patients with herpetic neuralgia. By identifying demographic, clinical, previous medications and procedural factors associated with positive outcomes, this research seeks to enhance the efficacy of TPVB and improve pain management strategies for patients suffering from herpetic neuralgia.
