Definition of neuralgia. : acute paroxysmal pain radiating along the course of one or more nerves usually without demonstrable changes in the nerve structure.
Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is nerve pain which occurs due to damage to a peripheral nerve caused by the reactivation of the varicella zoster virus (herpes zoster also known as shingles). Typically, the nerve pain (neuralgia) is confined to an area of skin innervated by a single sensory nerve, which is known as a dermatome.
