Predicting Postherpetic Neuralgia in Patients with Herpes Zoster by Machine Learning: A Retrospective Study

Abstract Introduction Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a neuropathic pain secondary to shingles. Studies have shown that early pain intervention can reduce the incidence or intensity of PHN. The aim of this study was to predict whether a patient with acute herpetic neuralgia will develop PHN and to h...
