Intrathecal pump implantation is a surgical procedure used to manage chronic pain by delivering medication directly into the intrathecal space around the spinal cord. The intrathecal pump is a small device implanted under the skin of the abdomen or buttocks, with a catheter connected to the pump and inserted into the spinal canal. The pump delivers medication, such as opioid analgesics or muscle relaxants, in small doses directly to the spinal cord, where pain signals are transmitted to the brain.

Intrathecal pump implantation may be used to manage chronic pain conditions that have not responded to other treatments, including:

Failed back surgery syndrome
