Abstract
|
|
|
|
Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) is a promising therapy for chronic neuropathic pain, but complications of this therapy are poorly understood. Twiddler's syndrome, a rare complication characterized by lead displacement and coiling of wires, has been reported in other neuromodulation devices, but has not been described in the context of DRG-S. Here, we present a firstof-a-kind case report of Twiddler's syndrome occurring after 8 months of DRG-S. This case report highlights the importance of considering Twiddler's syndrome as a potential complication in patients undergoing DRG-S, especially in those with significant weight loss history. |
