Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation is a specialized form of neuromodulation that targets specific nerve clusters along the spine called dorsal root ganglia. Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulation, DRG stimulation delivers focused electrical impulses directly to these nerve bundles, providing precise pain relief for localized pain conditions. This therapy is particularly effective for complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), post-surgical pain, and other focal pain conditions that have not responded to conventional treatments. The targeted nature of DRG stimulation allows for consistent pain relief even with changes in body position. A trial period is performed before permanent implantation to ensure the therapy provides meaningful pain relief for each patient.
