Efficacy and Safety of High-Concentration 35 kDa Hyaluronan Gel for Herpes Zoster-Associated Pain
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, pilot clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of topical 10% high-concentration 35 kDa hyaluronan (HA35) gel in subjects with herpes zoster-associated pain (ZAP). Eligible participants will receive a single topical application of the study gel. The primary objective is to assess rapid pain reduction within 2 minutes and 24hours after application. Secondary objectives include evaluation of analgesic duration, local tolerability, erythema improvement, and overall safety throughout the observation period. This is a minimal-risk, non-pharmacological supportive care intervention.
