Hello @romans8. I happened to find an existing discussion on DRG nerve stimulation so you will notice I have moved your post here:

I see you've had several members join you, and their posts have moved here too so you can continue to compare notes.

I've been researching this and have an appointment with a pain management specialist at Columbia University Medical in New York in a couple of weeks. A Nevro sponsored study recently publish results indicating that patients with the HFX stimulator experienced up to 75% PN pain reduction which is huge . I believe Nevro stimulators are MRI safe. My understanding after speaking to the neurosurgeon who implanted my current SCS (Boston Scientific)
is that DRG stimulator is good at targeting specific pain and can have a positive affect on reducing DRG pain although not as great as the Nevro. There may also be limitations with MRI use but I have not yet confirmed that. I'm attempting to contact Nevro for further info.
