any/minimal side-effects. Economic factors such as, U.S. health insurance policies
have boosted the demand of the intrathecal pumps market. Moreover, with advancing
technology of the intrathecal pumps, the feasibility and flexibility of these
devices have also grown with the current diagnostic methods, which in-turn is
driving the intrathecal pumps market. Drugs such as Baclofen and
Trihexy-phenidyl, which are used for the treatment of neuro-degeneration with
brain iron accumulation and dystonia are not available in oral form, and hence,
the demand of technically advanced intrathecal pumps with ability to perform
multiple medications via single infusion pump has increased in recent years.
