Previous research primarily used non-self-consistent analytic methods to estimate the impact of DM spikes on eccentric IMRIs. Our study provides the first self-consistent treatment of this phenomenon using $N$-body simulations, incorporating Post-Newtonian effects up to the 2.5 order for accurate and robust results.
