To provide the most user-friendly experience, the Proclaim DRG Neurostimulator System also utilizes an iPod touch‡ mobile digital device as the system's patient controller communicates wirelessly via Bluetooth® wireless technology. The first generation DRG system, known as the Axium™ Neurostimulator System, used a larger controller that did not have Bluetooth® wireless technology.
The Proclaim DRG Neurostimulator System supports Abbott's focus on helping physicians manage patients with difficult-to-treat chronic pain in specific areas of the lower body, such as the foot, knee, hip or groin. Clinical research, such as the ACCURATE study, has demonstrated that DRG stimulation can provide superior pain relief in patients with CRPS compared to traditional spinal cord stimulation therapy. The study also found patients receiving DRG stimulation reported better therapeutic targeting and a reduction in paresthesia (the tingling feeling common to traditional SCS) compared to traditional tonic SCS.
