Abstract
The British Pain Society updated their recommendations on intrathecal drug delivery (ITDD) for the management of pain and spasticity in adults. The recommendations are primarily evidence based but where necessary comprise the consensus opinion of the working group. The recommendations are accompanied by information for patients and their carers, intended to inform and support patients in their decision making. The updated guidance includes recent evidence base of ITDD use in pain and spasticity, address the issues of drug pump compatibility following the latest manufacturer and Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) recommendations as well as provide an update on the indications and complication management particularly endocrine complications and intrathecal granuloma formation.
期刊介绍:
British Journal of Pain is a peer-reviewed quarterly British journal with an international multidisciplinary Editorial Board. The journal publishes original research and reviews on all major aspects of pain and pain management. Reviews reflect the body of evidence of the topic and are suitable for a multidisciplinary readership. Where empirical evidence is lacking, the reviews reflect the generally held opinions of experts in the field. The Journal has broadened its scope and has become a forum for publishing primary research together with brief reports related to pain and pain interventions. Submissions from all over the world have been published and are welcome. Official journal of the British Pain Society.
