Overview of Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation Therapy
Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation therapy is an innovative approach to managing chronic pain by targeting a specific neural structure known as the dorsal root ganglion. Unlike traditional spinal cord stimulation, DRG stimulation provides precise pain relief in areas like the lower limbs, hands, or feet. This therapy is designed to disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain, offering potential relief for patients who have not responded well to other treatments. In this overview, we will explore the fundamental aspects of DRG stimulation therapy, its purpose in pain management, and its potential benefits for those seeking relief from chronic and localized pain.
