Dorsal Root Ganglion (“DRG”) Stimulation Q & A
What is DRG?
DRG Stimulation is an innovative method of pain control that targets your spinal cord’s dorsal root ganglion to help improve chronic pains by altering signals. The device applies electrical currents, heat or vibration onto specific locations within the nerve endings which cause you less discomfort while still experiencing some type if release from your pain.
Who needs DRG?
Individuals who are looking for an alternative to opiod therapy, surgery or conventional treatments for chronic pain may be candidates for the therapy. Some of the conditions that can benefit from stimulation include: failed back syndrome, diabetic neuropathy, fibromyalgia and cancer-related nerve pain. If you’re still unsure, call our office to learn more about this cutting-edge technique.
What can I expect during DRG?
Prior to your DRG procedure, you will need to undergo a series of tests including CT scans, x-rays and nerve conduction studies. Before the actual treatment begins an epidural injection with anesthesia is performed in order for your physician to locate the exact location of your pain. You will then receive small injections into the DRG that should provide relief for several months, depending on how severe your condition is.
How Long Does DRG Last?
The effects of DRG stimulation are temporary and will need to be repeated after a period of 3-6 months if needed. The treatment itself only takes an hour or so to complete and can be done on an outpatient basis. You may also notice some swelling and soreness after the procedure, but this will subside within a couple of days.
