Dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) is able to relieve chronic neuropathic pain. There seems evidence that DRGS might achieve this by gradually influencing pain pathways. We used laser‐evoked potentials (LEP) to verify our hypothesis that the recovery of the LEP may reflect DRGS‐induced changes within the nociceptive system.
