  1. Basic neuroanatomy related with the performance of intrathecal drug delivery
  2. Current imaging and neurophysiology relevant for performing diagnosis and performing the intrathecal drug delivery for pain & spasticity treatment
  3. Indentify questions that need to be addressed to increase knowledge of intrathecal techniques used in chronic pain treatment
  4. Current indications of Intrathecal drug delivery in chronic pain and recommendations for the evaluation and management of these pain conditions
  5. Evidence-Based recommendations and strategies in the patient screening and follow-up, in the managemet of intrathecal drug delivery analgesia
