What Are Intrathecal Pump Procedures

Intrathecal pump therapy is an advanced treatment for selected patients with severe chronic pain or spasticity that has not responded adequately to other treatments. Dr. Aneel Kumar P uses a small programmable pump, surgically implanted under the skin and connected to a thin catheter, to deliver medication directly into the intrathecal space around the spinal cord. This targeted delivery can provide effective symptom control using lower medication doses than may be required with oral treatment. The pump can be programmed and adjusted according to the patient’s condition and treatment response.

  • Targeted medication delivery
  • Programmable drug dosing
  • Personalized symptom management
  • Long-term treatment flexibility

How the Procedure Works

Dr. Aneel Kumar P follows a carefully planned process to determine the appropriate medication, dosage, catheter position, and pump settings for each patient.

Preoperative Assessment

The patient's symptoms, medical history, previous treatments, medication response, and overall neurological condition are carefully evaluated to determine whether intrathecal therapy is appropriate.

Medication Trial

A temporary medication trial may be performed to assess how effectively targeted intrathecal medication controls the patient's pain or spasticity.

Catheter Placement

A thin catheter is precisely positioned in the intrathecal space near the spinal cord for targeted medication delivery.

Pump Implantation & Programming

A programmable pump is implanted beneath the skin, connected to the catheter, and programmed according to the patient's medication needs.

Follow-Up & Monitoring

Regular follow-up visits help monitor symptom control, refill the pump, and adjust settings when required.
