If your treatment team recommends the Baclofen pump system, you’ll need to try it out to see how well it works.
Here's how: Your doctor will inject Baclofen into your spine with a small needle. Then, the team checks to see how well it works over 2 to 4 hours. If your muscles don't relax during the first try, you may get a larger dose to see if that makes a difference.
If it works, you can decide with your doctor and family members if you should have a Baclofen pump system implanted.
