Here we report a case of an 80-year-old man who suffered from severe pain of post -herpetic neuralgia which was refractory to the usual therapies. However, this neuropathic pain was dramatically relieved by multiple BTX-A injection and the pain relief lasted 52 days.en-USallodyniabotulinum toxinneuropathic pain
