The Effect of Clinically Controllable Factors on Neural Activation During Dorsal Root Ganglion Stimulation

ConclusionsOur results suggest that DRGS applied with stimulation parameters within typical clinical ranges predominantly activates A β‐mechanoreceptors. In general, varying clinically controllable parameters affects the number of Aβ‐mechanoreceptors activated, although longer pulse widths can increase Aδ‐neuron activation. Our data support several Neuromodulation Appropriateness Consensus Committee guidelines on the clin ical implementation of DRGS.
