This ultra concise guide presents a brief overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).

In addition, the book provides actual pain assessment tools such as the Short-Form McGill Questionnaire and the Zoster Brief Pain inventory, ready for practical use in the clinical setting.
