Sterile Medications for Intrathecal Pumps
Why would someone want or need an implanted pain pump (intrathecal pump) in their body to deliver medication for pain or spasticity?
-
It can provide pain relief in patients who cannot achieve adequate pain control, even with high doses of oral opioid medications.
-
Smaller doses are delivered, and side effects are minimized compared to those often experienced with larger oral doses of the same medications
