Dorsal Root Ganglion (DRG) Stimulation
Trial: 1 hour; Permanent implant: 1.5 to 2 hours
2 to 4 weeks of activity modification after permanent implant
DRG stimulation targets the dorsal root ganglion, a cluster of nerve cell bodies located just outside the spinal cord. Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulation that covers broad areas, DRG stimulation provides highly focused relief for specific body regions. It is particularly effective for conditions like CRPS and focal neuropathic pain where precision targeting is essential.
How It Works
- 1The specific DRG corresponding to your pain area is identified
- 2A trial with temporary leads confirms the therapy's effectiveness
- 3Permanent leads are placed directly at the target DRG under fluoroscopy
- 4A small pulse generator is implanted and programmed
- 5Stimulation parameters are fine-tuned for optimal coverage of your pain area
Benefits
- Highly targeted relief for focal pain conditions
- More precise than traditional spinal cord stimulation
- Effective for difficult-to-treat conditions like CRPS
- Stable stimulation regardless of body position
Conditions This Treats
- Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Post-surgical neuropathy
- Groin pain
- Focal limb pain
