Neuromodulation represents the most advanced tier of the neuropathic pain treatment algorithm, and this episode is a comprehensive guide to navigating it. Dr. Dan Bates and Justine Feitelson cover the full journey from conservative management to permanent implant, explaining the mechanisms behind:

• Traditional spinal cord stimulation (SCS)
• Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation
• Peripheral nerve stimulation

Listeners learn how to manage expectations, understand the trial process, and recognize the multidisciplinary approach required for successful device integration into an overall pain management plan.
