Intrathecal delivery

Intrathecal delivery is a method of administering medications directly into the spinal fluid surrounding the spinal cord. By injecting drugs into this space, healthcare providers ensure the medication reaches the central nervous system more effectively, often using smaller doses. This technique is commonly used for pain management or certain neurological conditions, as it allows targeted treatment with fewer systemic side effects. The procedure involves inserting a thin needle between the vertebrae into the spinal canal, under sterile conditions, providing a direct and efficient route for the medication to act on the nervous system.
