Actual (reported)This study evaluates the effectiveness and safety of an implantable intrathecal pump for the treatment of cancer-related pain compared with standard subcutaneous analgesic infusion. Cancer-related pain can be difficult to control with systemic opioid therapy and is often associated with significant side effects and reduced quality of life. Implantable intrathecal pumps allow direct delivery of analgesic medication into the intrathecal space, enabling effective pain control with lower drug doses and fewer systemic adverse effects. The study compares pain intensity, symptom burden, medication requirements, and quality of life in patients receiving analgesia via an implantable intrathecal pump versus those treated with a subcutaneous pump. The results of this study aim to support the introduction of implantable intrathecal pumps into routine clinical practice for selected patients with refractory cancer pain.
