Summary

The purpose of this study is to record signatures from the fluid surrounding the spinal cord from people who have an implanted drug infusion system.

  • Report decreased therapeutic benefit, or show visible signs and/or symptoms of decreased therapeutic benefit
  • Agree to undergo clinical tests designed to troubleshoot catheter-related problems or failure as a part of their normal standard of care
  • Agree to provide signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Are currently enrolled or plan to enroll in another investigational drug or device trial
  • Have participated in an investigational drug or device study within 30 days of the in-clinic visit
