Neurosurgical treatment options for postherpetic neuralgia aim to alleviate the pain by targeting the affected nerves or neural pathways. One common approach is spinal cord stimulation (SCS). In SCS, electrodes are implanted along the spinal cord, and electrical impulses are delivered to interfere with the transmission of pain signals. This technique can modulate pain perception and significantly reduce the intensity and frequency of postherpetic neuralgia symptoms.

It includes a broad spectrum of phenotypes that are classified into clinical groups based on the age of onset and maximum motor function achieved. The most common form of SMA is due to a defect in the survival motor neuron 1 gene (<i>SMN1</i>) localized to 5q11.2-q13.3. The development of clinical symptoms and disease progression is thought to be due to decreased levels of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. SMA type 1 results in almost inevitable mortality within the first 2 years of life. The first two drugs approved globally for the treatment of SMA were the antisense oligonucleotide nusinersen (Spinraza), and the gene therapy onasemnogene abeparvovec-xioi (Zolgensma). Both interventions have approval and restrictions on use in different countries around the world. Despite these approved therapies, the medical unmet need in SMA (the majority of patients with SMA are not on a disease-modifying therapy) remains high with therapies in the pipeline to address some of the remaining limitations. The third and more recently approved drug for SMA is risdiplam (Evrysdi), an orally administered, centrally and peripherally distributed small molecule that modulates SMN2 pre-mRNA splicing toward the production of full-length SMN2 mRNA to increase functional SMN protein levels. In Russia the drug risdiplam was approved for use on November 26, 2020 with indications for the treatment of SMA in patients aged 2 months and older, and in 2023 the indications were expanded - use is allowed starting from the birth. Risdiplam is widely distributed into the CNS and peripheral tissues including muscles. Following risdiplam administration, SMN protein levels compared with baseline levels increase between 2- and 6-fold depending on the SMA phenotype treated. The risdiplam clinical development program currently has four ongoing clinical trials assessing its safety and efficacy. Clinical trials included more than 450 patients receiving risdiplam to date, has been well tolerated and no treatment-related safety findings leading to study withdrawal have been observed.
