One-year outcomes of spinal cord stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. Neuromodulation. 2015 Jan;18(1):41-8; discussion 48-9. doi: 10.1111/ner.12228.
| |
| a. Multicenter study showing DRG-SCS to be comparable to traditional SCS in terms of pain relief with benefit of being able to target regions sometimes difficult to target with traditional SCS and to maintain coverage over time
| |
| i. Led to European Union and Australia approving DRG in 2011

| |
| a. Showed superiority in DRG versus traditional SCS for pain reduction at 3 and 12 months as well as greater improvements in quality of life and psychological disposition with more targeted therapy (less postural variation); In CRPS/causalgia patients
| |
| i. Led to FDA approving DRG in 2016
