Generally speaking, after the skin damage of shingles healed, if the pain still persisted, it could be considered a sequela. Some elderly patients had neuropathic pain that could last for months or more than a year. If the pain persisted for nearly a year or ten years (for example, 30% to 50% of patients had lasted for nearly a year, and a small number of patients had lasted for ten years), it was definitely a sign of sequelae. International studies have found that the incidence of postherpetic neuropathic pain after shingles can be as high as 9 - 34%, and the domestic data is 8.6% - 13.8%.
