Comparison of Efficacy and Safety between Anterior Cisterna and High Cervical Intrathecal Drug Delivery for Craniofacial Cancer Pain: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study
Both AC and HC catheterization provide comparable pain control for refractory craniofacial cancer pain. The AC approach offers superior initial delivery efficiency but requires advanced technical skill, while the HC approach provides comparable long-term outcomes with a more familiar technique. Selection should be guided by institutional expertise and patient-specific risk profiles.
