The role of periradicular infiltration in dorsal root ganglion stimulation for chronic neuropathic pain

Targeting the correct spinal level is essential in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation. Anatomical selection of the DRG alone is not ideal since the pain area is not necessarily confined to the borders of t...
