Intrathecal Pain Pump: Advanced Pain Relief for Cancer Patients

What is an Intrathecal Pain Pump?  

This innovative, compact device is carefully implanted within the body, designed to deliver pain medication precisely where it's most needed - in the area surrounding the spinal cord. By targeting pain at its source, this advanced approach can effectively manage severe, persistent discomfort that has resisted other forms of treatment. Patients may experience significantly improved pain relief with fewer side effects, potentially transforming their quality of life.

How does it work? 

This device is carefully placed under the skin of your abdomen. It connects to a thin, flexible tube that delivers pain medication directly to the area around your spinal cord. By bypassing your digestive system, the pump provides powerful relief with much smaller doses than traditional pain pills. Our medical team programs the pump to release just the right amount of medication throughout the day, ensuring consistent comfort. As your needs change, we can easily adjust the settings to match your needs.

Benefits for Cancer Patients:

• More effective pain control with lower doses of medication

• Fewer side effects compared to oral pain medications

• Improved quality of life and ability to perform daily activities

• Customizable dosing to meet your specific needs
