Understanding Intrathecal Pump Implant

Intrathecal pump implantation is a minimally invasive treatment that manages chronic pain by delivering medication directly into the spinal fluid. A small pump is implanted under the skin, usually in the abdomen, and connected to a catheter placed in the spinal canal. This system allows for controlled and effective pain relief at significantly lower doses than oral medications. It is especially helpful for conditions like failed back surgery syndrome, CRPS, chronic nerve pain, cancer-related pain, and severe spasticity—especially when other treatments have not worked.

Advantages of Intrathecal Pump Implant

Targeted Drug Delivery

Delivers medication directly to the spinal cord, increasing effectiveness while using lower doses.

Reduced Side Effects

Minimises the gastrointestinal and systemic side effects often caused by oral medications.

Personalised Pain Control

Allows customisable dosing to match the patient's changing pain levels and treatment needs.

Lower Dependence on Oral Drugs

Significantly reduces or eliminates the need for high-dose oral painkillers.

Refillable and Adjustable

The pump can be refilled and reprogrammed without additional surgery, making it convenient for long-term use.
