Zoster-associated pain (ZAP) is often refractory to conventional treatments and can seriously affect patients\u2019 physical and mental health. High-voltage pulsed radio frequency (H-PRF) is a new method for treating ZAP with pulse voltages above 60\u2009V or even up to 100\u2009V. The purpose of this paper was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of H-PRF in the management of ZAP. Methods. PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane library were searched from their inception to June 2022 to identify controlled trials which evaluated the effectiveness of H-PRF compared with standard PRF and sham operations. The primary outcome was pain scores at different treatment times. The secondary outcomes included SF-36 scores, rescue analgesic dose, and side effects. Results. We reviewed 6 randomized controlled trials involving 428 patients. There was no significant difference between the H-PRF and standard PRF pain scores at 1\u2009week after surgery and the sham operation group at 1\u2009month. At 1, 3, and 6\u2009months, the H-PRF group had better pain score than the standard PRF group, and at 3\u2009months, the pain score was better than the sham operation group. The H-PRF group showed improvement in the SF-36 score, and there were no significant complications in the H-PRF group. Conclusions. H-PRF is an effective and safe treatment method that has better effects in relieving pain and improving the quality of life and physical and mental health. Although H-PRF provides pain relief rates comparable to those of the control group in the early stages, it remains the preferred and alternative treatment for relieving herpes zoster-related pain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2023\/8479293","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,23]],"date-time":"2023-12-23T18:35:06Z","timestamp":1703356506000},"page":"1-11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Efficacy of High-Voltage Pulsed Radiofrequency in Zoster-Associated Pain: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2023","author":[{"given":"Yinghao","family":"Song","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ziheng","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Guan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haisheng","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jinglang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Liu","family":"Qiaoling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6970-0414","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xinzhi","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pain, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1433-8139","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Bingyu","family":"Ling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency, Clinical Medical College of Yangzhou University, Northern Jiangsu People\u2019s Hospital, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdvl.ijdvl_1021_16"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/wnl.0b013e3182a3516e"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciaa1185"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s40122-019-0127-z"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/j.pain.0000000000000307"},{"key":"6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3344\/kjp.2021.34.4.463"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pain.2010.02.034"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.cd006866.pub3"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/14651858.CD005582.pub4"},{"key":"10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/papr.12179"},{"key":"11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0b013e3181b79075"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/ajp.0000000000000867"},{"key":"13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3344\/kjp.2014.27.1.81"},{"key":"14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neurom.2021.12.003"},{"issue":"3","key":"15","first-page":"E411","article-title":"Pulsed radiofrequency to the dorsal root ganglion in acute herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia","volume":"20","author":"K.
