Dr. Chapman also mentions that DRG-S can facilitate pain neuromodulation by influencing the endogenous opioid system. He emphasizes additional benefits of DRG-S, including the management of joint nociceptive pain as demonstrated by a heightened quality of life, physical function, and mental health. Additionally, Dr. Chapman describes prospective DRG-S studies for low back pain.
