1. Laser-evoked potentials recover gradually when using dorsal root ganglion stimulation, and this influences nociceptive pathways in neuropathic pain patients

   PAIN PRACTICE, v.22, n.3, p.372-380, 2022

   Objective Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) is able to relieve chronic neuropathic pain. There seems evidence that DRGS might achieve this by gradually influencing pain pathways. We used laser-evoked potentials (LEP) to verify our hypothesis that the recovery of the LEP may reflect DRGS-ind...
