Effectiveness of dorsal root ganglion stimulation and dorsal column spinal cord stimulation in a model of experimental painful diabetic polyneuropathy.

CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that conventional DRGS is as effective as SCS in reduction of PDPN-associated mechanical hypersensitivity in STZ-induced diabetic rats. The wash-in effect of DRGS and SCS was similar, but DRGS showed a faster washout course. Long-term efficacy should be studied in future animal research.
