About Intrathecal Baclofen Therapy

Intrathecal baclofen therapy may reduce severe spasticity. The programmable pump delivers medication to where it’s needed – the spinal cord. This treatment option is adaptable, if necessary reversible, and non-destructive.

For spasticity of spinal origin, chronic infusion of baclofen via a drug delivery pump should be reserved for patients unresponsive to oral baclofen or those who experience intolerable side effects at effective doses.

Intrathecal baclofen therapy (ITB) therapy is a precise, targeted treatment that may reduce severe spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis.
