Another device is the Abbot DRG. The abbot is better suited for pain in a limb, and perhaps better at other neuropathic issues than the SCS. The DRG has up to 4 leads, Each lead is placed in the dorsal root of the nerve that is impacted. I have one but the results are OK at best. My issue is post herpetic neuralgia (due to shingles) and the pain mgt doctor last told me he used to avoinf PHN patients because he's had relatively little success. Anyways, he has had excellent results with the DRG for the most part. If you would like more information, the best path forward is go to the abbot website and locate the DRG. There should be a place to get more info. Eventually you will talk to a rep, who can give you names of Drs (pain mgt drs) that are certified to do the procedure. The rep may even make an appt for you. If they make that offer, take them up on it. They can probably get you in faster than you can. There is a trial to see if it helps. The trial is not perfect as you have to distinguish between the pain of the inserted lead and the pain you are being treated for. Good luck!
