Alterations in white matter integrity in patients with postherpetic neuralgia evidenced by peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity analysis
Background Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) causes chronic neuropathic pain and reduced quality of life. The peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity (PSMD), based on MD histogram along the fractional anisotropy skeleton, has shown robustness and clinical relevance in other neurological disorders. Methods This single-ce...
