Abstract: Since cancer-related pain is the worldwide problem,intrathecal drug delivery system (IDD)has been an effective pain management option for patients with chronic and cancer pain.Compared with the other ways,such as oral or intravenous infusion,the delivery of drugs into the intrathecal space provides superior analgesia with lower doses of analgesics to minimize side effects while significantly improve quality of life.Recently,besides traditional opioid (especially mainly morphine) for intrathecal,clinical experts have also found some other drugs could be used for IDD to control the cancer-related pain,and have observed their effect and related adverses.This article aims to provide a general overview of the development trend in this field.
