Abstract
Treating severe spasticity with the continuous infusion of intrathecal baclofen through an implantable delivery system is a new and successful alternative to oral medications and ablative surgical procedures. Nurses have a vital role in patient care throughout all phases of therapy. Advances in this technology hold promise for our future in treating other neurologic disorders.Keywords
