Intrathecal Pump Implantation

For those suffering from spastic movements and who find that intrathecal baclofen medication (the medication baclofen injected into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord) is helpful but have adverse reactions to the pill form, an intrathecal baclofen pump implantation will regulate doses of the drug directly into your spinal fluid.

This is a device we put inside your body to relieve long-lasting pain. It sends medicine into an area around your spinal cord. We call this the “intrathecal space.” The medicine blocks pain signals. It can work even when other treatments don’t.
