Rethinking Postherpetic Neuralgia: A New Approach to Lasting Relief | Dr. Demetrio Aguila

For decades, the “classic teaching” of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) has focused on the dorsal root ganglion as the source of pain. But new insights and patient outcomes tell a different story.

In this detailed talk, Dr. Demetrio Aguila, pain-focused peripheral nerve surgeon at Total Pain Solutions, is rethinking Postherpetic Neuralgia.

He explains:

Why the old model of PHN may be incomplete How histological studies reveal changes at the skin level

Why peripheral nerve blocks and neurectomies may provide lasting relief Patient stories of dramatic pain reduction when other treatments failed Patients often call PHN the “suicide disease” due to its severity.

Dr. Aguila’s innovative approach offers hope and measurable results—often better than stimulators, radiofrequency ablation, or traditional methods.
