Common questions about intrathecal pump therapy
What is intrathecal pump therapy?
Intrathecal Pump Therapy is a surgical procedure that implants a device to deliver medication directly to the fluid surrounding the spinal cord.
What conditions can intrathecal pump therapy treat?
Intrathecal Pump Therapy delivers medication directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord through an implanted pump. It may be considered for carefully selected patients with severe, persistent Chronic Pain, Neuropathy, Complex Regional Syndrome, or Muscular Pain when other appropriate treatments have been insufficient. Suitability depends on the cause of pain and the medication being considered.
How long does pain relief from intrathecal pump therapy last?
Pain control is possible for years with medication adjustments and maintenance. Pump batteries commonly last about 5–7 years.
Is intrathecal pump therapy painful?
Patients will be under general or local anesthesia and will not experience any pain. However, post-surgical discomfort is common as the incisions and soreness heals and pain gradually fades.
