Back pain: new to relieve chronic pain
Even when there is no hope, well it happens that there is still more! As evidenced by the results of this study conducted in the United States with 67 patients with chronic back pain and rebellious treatment.
They tested a DRG stimulation device: it involves sending electrical impulses, via electrodes implanted under anesthesia, on the spinal ganglia, nerve ganglia located in the spine. The results seem very promising: before this treatment but after having tested many others without lasting effects (drugs, spinal cord stimulation, surgery ...), the study participants evaluated their pain at 8 on a scale of 1 at 10. After the implementation of the device, they estimated it to 5. How to explain such an improvement? The impulses make it possible to stop the signal of the pain between the back and the brain and to replace the evil by more endurable sensations like tingling or numbness. No less than 94% of the guinea pigs have also seen an improvement in their quality of life.
These very encouraging conclusions will still have to be confirmed by a comparative study, according to the researchers. In a short time, let's wish it.
