Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

If you suffer from neuropathic chronic pain, a new type of therapy called dorsal root ganglion stimulation, or DRG stimulation, could help you find minimally-invasive and highly-effective pain relief. It is most effective for patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

For DRG stimulation, a pain specialist implants a small pulse generator under your skin, with four outward leads. These leads are then attached to the pulse generator and the painful area on your body. You then control the activation of small electrical impulses to these affected, painful areas. For patients with neuropathic pain, this can actually block the painful stimuli and provide very effective pain relief without medications. It also reduces the number of paresthesias, or pins-and-needles feelings, that are associated with similar forms of pain relief.

What Are DRG Stimulation Benefits?

By applying stimulation to the specific region of the dorsal root ganglion that is responsible for the pain, the benefits can be huge for patients.
