Intra-thecal Baclofen Pump
Intra-thecal Baclofen Pump
In the realm of spasticity management, baclofen takes center stage, offering targeted relief when administered intrathecally. The journey begins with a meticulous spasticity evaluation, identifying specific muscle groups contributing to stiffness and spasms. A trial, known as the intrathecal baclofen trial, gauges the effectiveness of the intervention, providing crucial insights for decision-making.
During the trial, intrathecal baclofen is delivered directly into the spinal fluid through a catheter, allowing continuous monitoring of its impact on spasticity. This trial spans over 48 hours, with evaluations every two hours, providing a comprehensive understanding of the individual’s response. Based on this trial’s success and the overall spasticity assessment, the decision is made on whether to proceed with the permanent implantation of an intrathecal baclofen pump.
The pump is a small, programmable device surgically implanted beneath the skin, typically in the abdominal region. Connected to the pump is a thecal catheter, which is inserted into the intrathecal space surrounding the spinal cord. This catheter delivers precise doses of baclofen, directly targeting the neural pathways responsible for heightened muscle tone. The baclofen dosage delivered through a pump is very less when compared to oral baclofen medications as in ITB the baclofen does not need to cross the blood brain barrier.
We lead in spasticity management, utilizing the precision of intrathecal baclofen pumps to unlock relief for our patients. Our expert team, comprising neurologists and rehabilitation professionals, collaborates to craft personalized and innovative solutions. Through cutting-edge diagnostics, precision therapies, and a compassionate approach, we navigate the intricate landscape of spasticity, striving to enhance the quality of life for our patients.
In the journey of managing spasticity with intrathecal baclofen, we recognize that empowerment comes through understanding. By delving into the intricacies of this precise intervention, we empower individuals to reclaim control over their lives. Together, with expertise and empathy, we chart the course to optimal neurological well-being, where innovation converges with personalized care for a brighter tomorrow.
