Intrathecal (IT) pumps have become a valuable tool in managing intractable non-cancer pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of using a rigorous treatment algorithm for trialing and implanting IT pumps with hydromorphone and bupivacaine in managing a more homogeneous population of post-laminectomy syndrome or failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) patients.
