Combined use of peripheral nerve stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation for refractory complex regional pain syndrome type I to avoid amputation: A case report

Abstract

Abstract We describe a case of left foot and ankle complex regional pain syndrome type 1 that necessitated a novel combination of a functioning dorsal root ganglion stimulation and peripheral nerve stimulation. This approach optimized pain relief, functional improvement, and avoided amputation.
