The Clinical Evaluation of Implantable Pump System For Safety And Delivery Accuracy In Patients Requiring Intrathecal Administration Of Morphine Sulfate For Chronic Pain
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
• The objectives of this study are to confirm the medication delivery accuracy of the Infusion System, LLC Implantable Drug Delivery System (IDDS) with Patient Controlled Analgesia for intrathecal delivery of morphine sulfate for pain control, and to determine the safety profile of the system with PCA for intrathecal delivery of morphine sulfate for pain control.

Experimental: Subjects with Implantable pump Patients with chronic pain responsive to intrathecal opioid analgesia as demonstrated in a morphine trial or patients with a previous successful intrathecal opioid therapy with an implantable pump will undergo study device implantation . |
Device: Implantation of Morphine Sulfate delivering programmable pump
Patients with chronic pain responsive to intrathecal opioid analgesia as demonstrated in a morphine trial or patients with a previous successful intrathecal opioid therapy with an implantable pump will undergo implantation of pump for intrathecal delivery of Morphine Sulfate.
