Intrathecal (IT) Baclofen Drug Distribution Pilot Study
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Baclofen bolus injection for Muscle Spasticity. Completed, enrolled 27 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this pilot study to determine whether there is a significant therapeutic advantage to place the ITB catheter within the cervical, thoracic or lumbar region of the spine. It is also a goal of this pilot study to determine whether the origin of spasticity influences the effect of Lioresal Intrathecal (baclofen injection) on ITB catheters located in the cervical, thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine. The investigators propose to study the impact of catheter location on the reduction in spasticity within a group of patients who are scheduled for ITB trial.
