Role of the continuous infusion test with an external pump for intrathecal baclofen in post-stroke spastic ambulatory patients
Discussion – conclusion Our pilot study showed that the continuous infusion test might be useful in order to evaluate the effect of different ITB doses in walking ability, helping the prediction of the appropriate candidates for ITB implantation.

Long-term Dosing of Intrathecal Baclofen in the Treatment of Spasticity after Acquired Brain Injury
Conclusion Despite the long-term use of ITB therapy in this cohort, the mean daily dose of intrathecal baclofen continued to require adjustments. There was no significant difference in the mean daily dose between patients with a diagnosis of TBI, stroke, or HIE. A complex dosing pattern was used more frequently in patients with stroke.

Intrathecal versus Oral Baclofen; a Matched Cohort Study of Spasticity, Pain, Sleep, Fatigue and Quality of Life
Conclusions Long-term treatment with intrathecal compared to oral baclofen is associated with reduced spasm frequency and severity as well as greater dose stability. These benefits must be weighted against the risks of internal pump and catheter placement in patients considering intrathecal baclofen therapy.
