For chronic pain, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation has shown promising results. This technique targets specific nerve cells along the spine where pain originates, rather than providing general stimulation to the entire spinal area. DRG stimulation works by using a pacemaker-like device implanted under the skin that sends small electronic pulses through a wire placed near specific pain areas. In clinical studies, this treatment helped reduce pain by 33% and decreased disability from pain by 27%. About 94% of patients found it beneficial, though some complications like infections or need for reimplantation can occur.
