Mechanism of dorsal root ganglion stimulation for pain relief in painful diabetic polyneuropathy is not dependent on GABA release in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord

Aims It is hypothesized that dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS), sharing some of the mechanisms of traditional spinal cord stimulation (SCS) of the dorsal columns, induces γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) release from interneurons in the spinal dorsal horn. Methods We used quantitative immunohistoche...
