Abstract

Intrathecal drug delivery systems are devices that function to provide a continuous infusion of a drug into the intrathecal (IT) space via a sialastic catheter placed within the cerebrospinal fluid. Intrathecal drug delivery systems are considered to be potential therapy for patients with chronic pain once they fail conservative therapies or if the patient cannot tolerate the side effects of traditional therapy. These systems can provide personalized therapy by means of delivering therapeutic drug levels for extended periods of time at a specified target while minimizing the systemic levels of the drug. The option to deliver personalized therapy with precision is one key advantage of intrathecal drug delivery systems. This chapter will focus on best practices and guidelines for selecting when to incorporate intrathecal drug delivery systems into the pain care algorithm.
