A Novel Technique to Interrogate Intrathecal Baclofen Pump to Ensure Recovery After an MRI

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses a case of a 57-year-old female with multiple sclerosis and cervical spine stenosis who had a baclofen pump inserted to manage spasticity. The patient used a personal therapy manager (PTM) to control breakthrough spasticity and could also interrogate the pump using the PTM after MRIs to ensure recovery without complications. The use of the PTM device allowed the patient to avoid scheduling office appointments and saved time and healthcare resources. The video suggests that further studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of PTM devices in ensuring adequate baclofen infusion.
