Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation as a Potentially Effective Treatment for Painful Hereditary and Idiopathic Axonal Polyneuropathy: A Retrospective Case Series.
Abstract
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation has been demonstrated to be effective in treating painful diabetic polyneuropathy in a small case series. However, diabetic polyneuropathy only accounts for 41% of all polyneuropathies and the efficacy of DRG on other types of polyneuropathy is unclear. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of DRG stimulation in treating painful hereditary and idiopathic axonal polyneuropathy.
