Intrathecal Pump Implant (Pain Management)

Body Area: Back / Spine
Body Parts: Upper Spine
Symptoms: Pain
Description:
An intrathecal pump is an implant that will deliver small quantities of medication (such as morphine) directly into your spinal fluid to continually block pain. The implant is considered to be permanent, so this surgery is not recommended for someone who can manage their pain effectively by other means.
