Article Synopsis
- Dorsal root ganglion stimulation is used to treat chronic neuropathic pain, and traditional procedures require patients to be awake for lead placement confirmation.
- This study analyzed six patients using both awake and asleep neuromonitoring to confirm electrode placement effectiveness and measure sensory and motor thresholds.
- Results showed that the proposed neuromonitoring technique can effectively verify electrode positioning in asleep patients by detecting somatosensory responses, even in the absence of motor responses.
