Interventional radio-frequency is the latest method for treating shingles:
Radio-frequency is one of the latest methods of interventional treatment, and in the case of herpetic neuralgia, damage to the nerve is the cause of the pain, and therefore the damaged nerve can be treated with thermal frequency according to the location of the injury, and the thermal frequency changes the nature of pain sensation and thus the patient does not feel pain for a long time. This is a very safe procedure that takes place in the operation room under the guidance of fluoroscope and the effect of sedation and local anesthesia.
