Ultrasound-guided nerve block for shingles pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block can help control pain from shingles (herpetic neuralgia). It may offer a way to target the pain more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with shingles-related nerve pain (herpetic neuralgia).
- The pain is limited to one patch of skin on your chest or upper back.
- You are in good general health (ASA class I or II).

This trial tests if a nerve block with betamethasone can reduce long-term shingles pain on the trunk. It may help people who still have pain more than 3 months after the rash appeared.
This trial compares two different nerve blocks (MTP and ESP) to see which works better for treating shingles pain in the chest or back. It could help you if you have moderate to severe shingles pain that started within the last 30 days.
This trial tests three injected treatments—tiny cell particles, platelet-rich plasma, and steroids—directly into the skin to reduce long-lasting nerve pain that follows shingles. If you've had persistent shingles pain for at least 3 months, this study may help ease your discomfort.
This study compares a new ultrasound-guided nerve block (erector spinae plane block) with standard care to help manage stubborn nerve pain after shingles. It might be an option if usual medications havent helped your pain.
This trial tests a combination treatment — a nerve block plus a type of focused energy called pulse radiofrequency — to see if it can relieve stubborn shingles pain that has lasted over a month. If you have this type of pain on your chest or back, this study may offer a new option to help reduce it.
This trial compares two procedures—a nerve block injection and a radiofrequency treatment—to see which works better for lasting pain after shingles. It aims to help people with persistent pain in the neck, chest, or lower back.
