Amit Darnule, MD, of Southlake-based Spine Team Texas is the first physician in the Greater Fort Worth area to implant the Protégé system, a spinal cord stimulator.
The system has received pre-market approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and is the first neurostimulation system that can be upgraded without the need of a surgical replacement of the device.
Dr. Darnule is an anesthesiologist, fellowship-trained in chronic pain management.
