- No surgery required for many conditions
- Same-day procedures
- International training & advanced techniques
One of the most common complications of shingles is persistence of pain in the affected area after the rash has healed — often called post-herpetic neuralgia. It may be very severe and prolonged, particularly in older patients.
Post-herpetic neuralgia is more likely when the patient is older (over 50), when pain during the rash is moderate to severe, and/or when pain begins before the rash appears.
Through years of experience, Dr. Kailash Kothari has developed treatments that have proved successful and effective. Please schedule a pain consultation or call our office to find out more.

Treatment at Pain Clinic of India
Intercostal and Paravertebral Nerve Blocks
For thoracic PHN (the most common location), targeted nerve blocks provide significant pain relief by interrupting pain transmission from the affected nerves.
Pulsed Radiofrequency
This technique modulates nerve function without causing nerve destruction, making it particularly suitable for treating the sensory nerves affected by PHN.
Spinal Cord Stimulation
For severe, refractory PHN, spinal cord stimulation offers a proven treatment option that can dramatically reduce pain levels.
