Tramadol can be effective for post-herpetic neuralgia, relieving pain similarly to gabapentin, but with different side effects and potential for dependency.
Tramadol is used to manage post-herpetic neuralgia but may be less effective than other options like lidocaine patches or anticonvulsants, depending on individual patient response.
