AbstractA 67-year-old man presented with severe 9 of 10 intractable pain of the left shoulder joint after arthroplasty and revision surgeries, with associated weakness, atrophy, and limited range of motion in all directions. Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRG-S) at the left C4, C5, and C6 levels was used after failed conservative and interventional measures, resulting in significant improvement in pain, function, and quality of life measures through 6 months postimplantation. Larger studies should examine if DRG-S is effective in treating chronic arthritic joint pain as well as chronic postsurgical pain of the shoulder that is not predominantly neuropathic.Copyright © 2023 International Anesthesia Research Society.
