How does intrathecal drug delivery work?
A. Intrathecal drug delivery is a proven, effective treatment alternative when other pain treatments do not provide satisfactory relief. Results may vary depending on patient. Intrathecal drug delivery works directly on the spinal cord, which is the highway for pain signals. The therapy is thought to work by interfering with pain signals before they reach the brain. It can offer good to excellent pain relief and improve your ability to go about daily activities. If you are interested in intrathecal drug delivery, talk to your doctor about a screening test to help determine whether you are an appropriate candidate.
