You can try spinal pain pump. An Intrathecal Pump is a specialized device, which delivers concentrated amounts of medication(s) into spinal fluid area via a small catheter (tubing).This device delivers concentrated amounts of medication into spinal fluid area allowing the patient to decrease or eliminate the need for oral medications, better pain relief and spasticity control with fewer side effects. It delivers medication around the clock, thus eliminating or minimizing breakthrough pain and/or other symptoms.Thanks.
