Intrathecal baclofen therapy in spinal cord injury: Referral patterns, dosing trends, and long-term complications
Most ITB recipients are younger individuals with severe spasticity at referral. Dosing patterns vary by etiology and severity of injury. While ITB is effective, long-term monitoring is essential to mitigate ITB-related infections and catheter complications. Further research is needed to study risk factors for complications and evaluate long-term outcomes.
