Getting a Baclofen Pump

Getting a Baclofen Pump

A baclofen pump is a programmable device that delivers liquid medication around the clock, directly in the "intrathecal space" of our spinal cord where it can have the biggest impact on your severe spasticity. After you successfully complete a 1-day screening test, expect a 2-hour procedure and a brief stay in the hospital.

Factors Your Doctor May Consider

Your doctor will consider many factors including your symptoms, goals, body mass, and results of a screening test.
