The dorsal root ganglion is the cluster of nerves located at the dorsal root of the spinal cord. In the mid-2010s, devices to stimulate the dorsal root ganglion were developed as an additional tool for treating chronic pain. This is a type of neuromodulation, similar to spinal cord stimulation.

At the ÈÕ±¾avÉ«ÇéƬ Division of Pain Management, our team includes leading experts in neuromodulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation.

With dorsal root ganglion stimulation, a non-rechargeable stimulation device is implanted over the dorsal root ganglion cluster of cells. The device can be adjusted to deliver the preferred amount of pain-relieving stimulation.

Advantages of Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

Neuromodulation has been proven to be safe and effective for managing chronic pain. Despite being a new treatment option, dorsal root ganglion stimulation has also proven to provide pain relief.

The main advantages of dorsal root ganglion stimulation are:

• The ability to treat areas that cannot be treated effectively with spinal cord stimulation, such as the hands, chest, knees, feet, abdomen, or groin
• Can effectively treat pain associated with neuropathy, including diabetic neuropathy
• The ability to deliver pain relief to a highly specific area
