Lidocaine has many benefits for postherpetic neuralgia :
Postherpetic neuralgia is a long-lasting pain disorder that causes pain from stimuli that are not normally painful. Local anaesthetics (such as lidocaine) can reduce the sensation of pain that is transmitted through nerves, and allow pain relief in patients with postherpetic neuralgia. This review found three small studies involving 182 topical lidocaine treated participants and 132 control participants using lidocaine for patients with postherpetic neuralgia. Two studies provided data on pain relief amongst patients with postherpetic neuralgia, and they showed some improvement in pain when topical lidocaine was compared to a placebo. No comparison was made with other medications that are in current use for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. The side effects of topical lidocaine are very minimal, but include skin problems (such as irritation and redness). We are unable to recommend the use of topical lidocaine as first-line treatment for postherpetic neuralgia. Further studies are needed to compare topical lidocaine to other medications in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia. For more info:
