This case report presents the successful use of dorsal root ganglion stimulation (DRGS) in a 30-year-old female patient with Crohn's disease. Despite extensive treatments, the patient experienced chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, cramping, fatigue, and other debilitating symptoms. After a successful DRGS trial with leads placed on the right T6 and T10, she was implanted with a permanent system. At 18 months she continues to experience significant improvement in symptoms, including reduced abdominal pain, decreased defecation frequency, better stool consistency, less pain with eating and bowel evacuation, and enhanced quality of life.
