Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) therapy is a rapidly emerging tool being used by pain physicians in the treatment of chronic pain. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a debilitating disease whose mechanism is still has yet to be fully elucidated, is a common pathology targeted by DRGS therapy, often better results than traditional spinal cord stimulation. DRGS therapy, however, is not bereft of complications. Lead migration and fracture are two examples in particular that are among the most common of these complications. The authors report an unusual case of lost efficacy due to lead fractures in patients with CRPS treated with DRGS. The case report narrates identification, management and probable mechanism of DRGS lead fracture. The structural instability of DRGS leads can yield distressing symptoms at any point during the therapy, and physicians should be cognisant of the complications of DRGS therapy.

Background: Frostbite is an injury caused by exposure to extreme cold that can result in chronic refractory pain due to sensory neuropathy in severe cases, with limited treatment options. We report the use of neuromodulation targeting the dorsal root ganglion for the treatment of refractory foot pain due to frostbite neuropathy. Case Presentation: A 65-year-old man presented 40 years after a frostbite injury with continued refractory burning and severe pain in his left foot. After failing multiple interventions, the patient underwent a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation and implantation at the left L5 level with significant improvement of his pain. Conclusion: The patient experienced significant improvement in pain at 24 months after DRG stimulation trial and implantation. This case report suggests that the use of DRG stimulation may provide effective treatment of refractory pain due to frostbite injury.
