ABSTRACT
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a difficult medical issue and symptomatic treatment with medication is common. One case of PHN was cured by nerve avulsion and microtherm plasma nerve block. The male patient was 48-year-old with PHN on the right side of the nose, suffering recurrent pains within one year. The symptoms occurred irregularly and lasted for several minutes to hours every time. Electroacupuncture and Chinese medicine treatments in other hospitals made little efficacy. Physical examination showed skin of right side of the nose and nasal mucosa was normal and all laboratory reports confirmed negative. After microtherm plasma treatment in nasal cavity and corresponding area of nasal septum, the pain disappeared.
