Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the local anesthetic bupivacaine delivered intrathecally in small doses via PTM self-administered boluses significantly improves the breakthrough pain and functional status of patients with chronic intractable pain who are managed with an intrathecal drug delivery system.

Primary Outcome

Patients will be provided with a diary to record pain scores just before a PTM bolus and the lowest pain score within half an hour after a PTM bolus. Numerical Rating Pain Scale (NRS): scale from 0-10 0 = no pain 10 = worst imaginable pain
