Evaluation of intrathecal drug delivery system for intractable pain in advanced malignancies
Pain is prevalent in advanced malignancies; however, some patients cannot get adequate pain relief by conservative routes of analgesic administration or experience serious side effects related to high dose of opioids. For those who have exhausted multimodal conservative analgesic, intrathecal drug delivery is an alternative intervention for truly effective pain management. The objective of this...
متن کاملIntrathecal Drug Delivery Therapy with Implantable Pump System in Refractory Cancer and Non-Cancer Pain
Chronic pain is the major cause of discomfort for any patient. Unfortunately there is still a present low efficacy of analgesic drugs to relief neuropathic pain [1]. The intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) have been used for more than 30 years to deliver analgesic drugs into the cerebrospinal fluid and close to their site of action. These systems are being used in patients with both malign...

The management of chronic pain continues to pose many challenges to healthcare providers. Intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS) provide an effective therapy for patients suffering from chronic pain intractable to medical management. However, the clinical growth of intrathecal therapy continues to face many challenges, and is likely underutilized secondary to its high-complexity and limited r...
متن کاملMEMS-based Implantable Drug Delivery System
Implantable devices are currently used regularly for chronic pain relief, cardiac pacemakers, arterial infusion for cancer and insulin delivery. A MEMS based implantable drug delivery system (IDDS) integrating a subcutaneous reservoir, an in plane silicon pump and associated circuitry for local or centralized delivery of therapeutic agents for chemotherapy is proposed. System configurations, fl...
متن کاملHealth Services Utilization and Payments in Patients With Cancer Pain: A Comparison of Intrathecal Drug Delivery vs. Conventional Medical Management
INTRODUCTION To compare health services utilization and payments for cancer patients who received an implantable intrathecal drug delivery (IDD) system, consisting of a pump and catheter, vs. conventional medical management (CMM) for the treatment of cancer-related pain. METHODS This retrospective claims-data analysis compared health services utilization and payments in a population of patien...
