Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a debilitating chronic condition characterized by severe, nociplastic pain along with various other symptoms. Neuromodulation, particularly electrical stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG), has emerged as a promising intervention for patients with CRPS unresponsive to conventional treatments. However, little is known about the anatomical characteristics of DRGs in patients with CRPS. This study aimed to assess DRG size in patients with CRPS compared with healthy controls.
