چکیده
Intrathecal drug delivery is an effective pain management option for patients with chronic and cancer pain. The delivery of drugs into the intrathecal space provides superior analgesia with smaller doses of analgesics to minimize side effects while significantly improving quality of life. This article aims to provide a general overview of the use of intrathecal drug delivery to manage pain, dosing recommendations, potential risks and complications, and growing trends in the field.

متن کاملIntrathecal drug delivery systems for the management of chronic non-cancer pain: protocol for a systematic review of economic evaluations
INTRODUCTION Intrathecal drug delivery (ITDD) systems are an option for the management of patients with chronic non-cancer pain, cancer pain and spasticity. Concerns over their invasiveness and high initial costs have led National Health Service (NHS) England to decommission ITDD for patients with chronic non-cancer pain. However, the extent to which this decision is in line with existing econo...
متن کاملIntrathecal analgesia for cancer pain: externalised intrathecal catheters.
Dear Editor, We thank the authors for a comprehensive review1 on the role of interventional pain therapies used in cancer pain as well as a informative local audit using the intrathecal catheter (PORT-A-CATH® IT) implantable system (Deltec Inc, USA).2 Our comments are directed at the neuraxial delivery of drugs in both articles. We agree that the most widely accepted indications for intrathecal...
متن کاملEffect of sex in the MRMT-1 model of cancer-induced bone pain [version 2; referees: 2 approved with reservations]
An overwhelming amount of evidence demonstrates sex-induced variation in pain processing, and has thus increased the focus on sex as an essential parameter for optimization of in vivo models in pain research. Mammary cancer cells are often used to model metastatic bone pain in vivo, and are commonly used in both males and females. Here we demonstrate that compared to male rats, female rats have...
