Optimal pain management is a national health care priority, and the use of opioid therapy for patients with both acute and chronic pain is safer and more effective than ever before. For many patients with severe and intractable chronic pain, oral opioid therapy is not enough and other options are better suited for achieving pain control. Intrathecal (IT) therapy is becoming an increasingly accepted strategy for delivering opioid and non-opioid analgesics, as well as neuromodulators, for the management of intractable pain in appropriate patients. Evidence suggests that ongoing education is warranted identify the appropriate patient and to build and strengthen the use of evidence-based, best practices among clinicians regarding use of IT in pain management.
