Dr. GG deFiebre of SRNA was joined by Dr. Miguel Escalón for an
Ask the Expert podcast on "Managing Spasticity with a Baclofen
Pump." Dr. Escalón began by giving an overview of spasticity,
tone, and treatment options. He explained how the baclofen pump
works, its advantages, and the impact on neurogenic bladder and
bowel function. Next, Dr. Escalón described the initial surgical
procedure, recovery process, and potential risks. Finally, he
discussed long-term operation and maintenance, as well as safety
measures and how pregnancy might impact the baclofen pump. You
