The Impact of Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation on Pain Levels and Functionality in Patients With Chronic Postsurgical Knee Pain.
Abstract
Chronic postsurgical pain is a considerable source of disabling neuropathic pain. Rates of knee replacement surgeries are increasing, and many patients report chronic postsurgical pain in their wake. When conventional therapies prove ineffective, neuromodulation options such as dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) may be used. However, little is known about the effect of DRGS on improvements in quantitative functional outcome parameters.
