ID:16184 Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation for Chronic Pain Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Review

A modest subset of patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will subsequently develop chronic neuropathic knee pain. Initially, patients are treated conservatively with tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, gabapentinoids, and peripheral nerve blocks with subsequent radiofrequency ablation. With advancements in neuromodulation, particularly dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S), promising outcomes with sustained pain relief have been shown. Our aim is to review the current literature on the management of chronic neuropathic post-TKA pain with DRG-S.
