Abstract

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disease that presents with various symptoms; in some cases it is progressive and highly disabling, requiring invasive techniques to treat pain and spasticity. The use of intrathecal baclofen infusions is an effective and safe alternative for patients with severe and refractory spasticity. The therapy can improve quality of life, but must be performed in a pain unit by medical staff trained in the technique, its indications, pharmacology, and the potential risks of both the implant and the drug. The treatment can be individualized and patients must be followed up periodically.

Resumen

La esclerosis múltiple es una enfermedad neurológica con clínica variada, que en algunos casos es progresiva y muy invalidante, requiriendo tratamientos invasivos para el dolor y la espasticidad. El uso de perfusiones de baclofeno intratecal es una alternativa eficaz y segura para pacientes con espasticidad refractaria y severa, y logra mejorar la calidad de vida, pero es preciso disponer de una unidad del dolor con personal entrenado para poder realizar estas terapias invasivas y conocer las indicaciones, farmacología y posibles riesgos tanto del implante como del uso del baclofeno. Se tiene que individualizar el tratamiento y realizar seguimientos periódicos.
