TARGET AUDIENCE This educational activity is targeted to an audience of pain management nurses and other providers involved in managing patients who are candidates for intrathecal analgesic drug delivery.
STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW Chronic pain affects an estimated 100 million adults in the United States.1 When pain is severe and refractory to conventional medical management, patients are often unable to achieve adequate pain relief, resulting in dire functional and psychosocial consequences.2 Some of these individuals are likely to benefit from the intrathecal delivery of analgesics. Over the past 3 decades, the more than 300,000 patients who have received implanted pumps for a variety of indications have helped establish intrathecal therapy as a relatively safe and effective method of drug delivery.3,4 Two analgesics have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for intrathecal delivery: ziconotide and morphine.5,6 Studies suggest that intrathecal therapy may be underutilized owing to poor patient selection, safety concerns, and other systemic barriers.7 This Interactive Professor™ program will provide guidance on evaluating patients who are candidates for intrathecal drug delivery, and tailoring this modality based on ongoing monitoring of efficacy and treatment-emergent adverse effects.
