1 Characterization of peripheral and central sensitization after dorsal root ganglion intervention in patients with unilateral lumbosacral radicular pain: a prospective pilot study  V Mehta, S Snidvongs, B Ghai, R Langford, T Wodehouse  British Journal of Anaesthesia  Volume 118, Issue 6, Pages (June 2017) DOI: /bja/aex089 Copyright © 2017 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Study flow diagram. DRG, dorsal root ganglion; PRF, pulsed radiofrequency; QST, quantitative sensory testing; VAS, visual analog scale. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aex089) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions

3 Fig 2 The dorsal root ganglion block was performed according to a standard local protocol, with a mixture of bupivacaine 0.25% 1 ml and methylprednisolone (as Depo-Medrone®) 20 mg injected at the site of the dorsal root ganglion. A radiculogram was obtained to confirm appropriate placement. British Journal of Anaesthesia  , DOI: ( /bja/aex089) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
