Show Notes
Despite being developed in the late 1980s, Intrathecal pumps have been underutilized clinically for pain management for multiple reasons. With the opioid crisis and the significant increase in the proportion of the population with refractory pain, intrathecal pumps are gaining popularity. Intrathecal pumps may be an appropriate option for improved pain control while minimizing side effects from systemic opioids.
