Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation
Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation or DRG stimulation is a treatment that provides relief from chronic neuropathic pain in conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). It involves stimulation of bundles of nerve cells close to the spine called the dorsal root ganglion, which are responsible for the transmission of pain impulses from specific regions of the body. Stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion blocks the transmission of pain impulses to the brain to provide pain relief.
