Abbie -

DBL can be dangerous stuff, when they say deep, they mean deep. And all the while you're conscious so they can test your responses. Patients have literally bled out in that condition.

The newer, gentler approach is Motor Cortex Stimulation. Check out this thread Motor cortex electrical stimulation: a promising therapy when all else has failed http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...d.php?t=145341

At last report there was at least one clinical trial in the recruiting stage. However, I don't have any "names" beyond what's in the thread, including any links that appear therein. I have however heard that Stanford is not currently using the technique, at least on any CRPS patients.
