acetaminophen and Neuralgia, Postherpetic

acetaminophen has been researched along with Neuralgia, Postherpetic in 7 studies

Acetaminophen: Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
paracetamol : A member of the class of phenols that is 4-aminophenol in which one of the hydrogens attached to the amino group has been replaced by an acetyl group.

Neuralgia, Postherpetic: Pain in nerves, frequently involving facial SKIN, resulting from the activation the latent varicella-zoster virus (HERPESVIRUS 3, HUMAN). The two forms of the condition preceding the pain are HERPES ZOSTER OTICUS; and HERPES ZOSTER OPHTHALMICUS. Following the healing of the rashes and blisters, the pain sometimes persists.

"Both ESB and PVB were effective in controlling acute pain and persistent herpetic pain after 6 months (which was evident by lower NRS for pain and doses of pregabalin and acetaminophen), but ESB is safer (no reported pneumothorax and hypotension)."5.51Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Block Versus Ultrasound-Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Pain Relief in Patients With Acute Thoracic Herpes Zoster: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
