prospective, single-arm, pilot study. Setting Four clinical centers were used as setting for this
study. Patients Ten (10) patients with chronic intractable pain of the trunk and/or limbs were
included. Intervention A trial period of DRG stimulation was studied. Two to four leads, each
with four electrical contacts, were inserted using a minimally invasive epidural approach and …
