PAIN MANAGEMENT
Intrathecal Drug Delivery
Medtronic SynchroMed & IsoMed Pump systems can significantly impact the presence of pain.

Intrathecal infusion is commonly used for the treatment of chronic, intractable pain of malignant or non-malignant origin. Morphine, Dilaudid, or a combination of medicines are commonly prescribed for use within the system. Like other intrathecal therapies, the medication enters the spinal cord via the intrathecal or epidural space and binds to the appropriate sites around the dorsal horn area effectively blocking the transmission of pain.
  Pain Management

Like other applications of intrathecal delivery, special skills are required to properly infuse and monitor the infusion therapy process. Education and recertification is an ongoing nursing process to assure optimal patient care.

Intrathecal Therapy  
In addition, Home Care Plus offers pain management utilizing external pumps via subcutaneous, intravenous or epidural routes. Regardless of the route of administration, our focus is first and foremost on achieving the optimal clinical outcome.

There is a difference in home health care infusion providers. Our trained and certified nurses are among the most experienced and completely dedicated anywhere. Day or night we're on call to manage our patient's pain. Our standards will not be compromised!

Neurostimulation
Spinal cord stimulation is a fully implanted system that delivers low voltage electrical stimulation to the spinal cord to inhibit or block the sensation of pain. Patients who experience chronic low back pain usually respond well to neurostimulation. Pain in the extremities also have a favorable response to this therapy.

Neurostimulation has many advantages. The therapy is precisely directed for areas of chronic pain relief. It reduces the need for drugs and reoperations and is often effective for simple and multi-focal pain.

Home Care Plus is currently the only home care organization in Indiana and the Midwest to offer stimulator adjustments outside the hospital and physician's office. With a rapid increase in the number of neurostimulator implants, we are available to make periodic adjustments based on your (the patient's) schedule, thus saving time and inconvenience.
