Abstract:
Acyclovir was shown to limit herpes simplex reactivation in a controlled trial to prevent herpes labialis after surgical intervention for trigeminal neuralgia. Of 14 patients receiving acyclovir, unambiguous herpes labialis developed in only one, compared with 12 of 16 in the placebo group.
