A pilot study of novel ultrahigh‐frequency dorsal root ganglia stimulation for chronic lower limb pain: Focusing on safety and feasibility
In this first-in-human pilot study, we discovered that intermittent pulsed UHF-DRG stimulations ameliorated chronic lower limb pain for an extended period in humans. Our finding opens up a new neuromodulatory concept and may initiate a novel paradigm for treating intractable pain.
