Abstract
To compare efficacies, failure rates, and technical complication rates of intraspinal treatments in patients with "refractory" nonmalignant pain conditions in relation to the approach (epidural/intrathecal), the drug (opioid/opioid-bupivacaine or bupivacaine), and the type of system used (externalized/internalized). In these comparisons, recent data from a companion paper (Nitescu et al., Clin J Pain 1998;14:17-28) were used as a reference to be compared with data from a literature review of different intraspinal treatment modalities in nonmalignant pain. Prospective, cohort, nonrandomized, consecutive trial. Tertiary care center, institutional practice, hospitalized, and ambulatory care. Five groups according to treatment modality: (a) externalized, long-term intrathecal nylon catheters, connected to external, electronic infusion pumps (companion paper), n = 90; (b) internalized, long-term intrathecal catheters (Silastic) connected to implanted SynchroMed pumps, n = 330 (literature review); (c) externalized, "short-term" epidural catheters for "temporary" infusions, n = 565 (literature review); (d) externalized, long-term epidural catheters, n = 50 (literature review); (e) internalized, long-term epidural catheters, n = 111, c...Continue Reading
