Description

Dr. Christophe Perruchoud describes updates on the algorithm of treatment with intrathecal drug delivery. The Polyanalgesic Consensus Conference (PACC) writes an article every few years with their recommendations on this algorithm. There are many indications for intrathecal drug delivery, including cancer and non-cancer pain and spasticity. This algorithm helps with patient selection and treatment strategies employed. Dr. Perruchoud also discusses recent research in this area. Medication selection is also important.
