Abstract

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation is a novel treatment of chronic neuropathic pain and has been shown to be efficacious across several case reports and randomized trials. However, long-term follow-up is limited, as are reports of complication rates. This study presents efficacy and complications for patients treated with DRG stimulation.
