Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effectiveness of neural blocks un preventing the progression of pain from acute zoster to post herpetic neuralgiaTimepoint: Pain relief assessment and monitoring progression to Post herpetic neuralgia will be done by repeated follow ups of patients based on reduction in symptoms of pain, QOL and NRS on day 0, 15, 30 and 60 post block procedure. Each visit and follow up will be documented and results tabulated and analyzed at end of 60 days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effectiveness of neural blocks i.e, Erector spinae plane block vs Para vertebral block in providing pain relief for acute zoster painTimepoint: Pain relief assessment and monitoring progression to Post herpetic neuralgia will be done by repeated follow ups of patients based on reduction in symptoms of pain, QOL and NRS from immediate post procedure period till end of 2 months for each method individually. Each visit and follow up will be documented and results tabulated and analyzed at end of 60 days.
