As ironic as it may seem, Bee Venom Therapy provides relief from pain and not vice versa. This case study is only one of many that have had incredible results with bee venom. It's truly a potent medical development with numerous applications...
Conclusion:
Bee venom treatment demonstrates the potential to become an effective treatment for postherpetic neuralgia. Further large-sample clinical trials should be conducted to evaluate the overall safety and efficacy of this treatment.
Bee Venom
Treatment for Refractory Postherpetic Neuralgia: A Case Report
Objective:
Bee venom has been reported to have antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory
effects in experimental studies. However, questions still remain regarding the
clinical use of bee venom. This report describes the successful outcome of bee
venom treatment for refractory postherpetic neuralgia.
Patient:
A
72-year-old Korean man had severe pain and hypersensitivity in the region where
he had developed a herpes zoster rash 2 years earlier. He was treated with
antivirals, painkillers, steroids, and analgesic patches, all to no effect.
Intervention:
The patient visited the East-West Pain Clinic, Kyung Hee University Medical
Center, to receive collaborative treatment. After being evaluated for bee venom
compatibility, he was treated with bee venom injections. A 1:30,000 diluted
solution of bee venom was injected subcutaneously along the margins of the rash
once per week for 4 weeks.
Results:
Pain levels were evaluated before every treatment, and by his fifth visit, his
pain had decreased from 8 to 2 on a 10-point numerical rating scale. He
experienced no adverse effects, and this improvement was maintained at the
3-month, 6-month, and 1-year phone follow-up evaluations.
Conclusion:
Bee venom treatment demonstrates the potential to become an effective treatment for postherpetic neuralgia. Further large-sample clinical trials should be conducted to evaluate the overall safety and efficacy of this treatment.
