IDDS for Movement Disorders

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Advances in medical technology have made intrathecal baclofen therapy a suitable treatment option for patients suffering from a variety of disorders affecting movement, especially spasticity. These patients have typically exhausted conservative therapies, usually including oral baclofen therapy which has either failed to result in clinically significant reductions in spasticity, intolerable baclofen-related side effects (i.e., sedation), or both. Intrathecal drug delivery systems for movement disorders can provide continuous infusions of baclofen for improvement in rigidity and/or spasticity.
