What are the Potential Side Effects of Intrathecal Therapy?
While intrathecal therapy can be highly effective, it also carries risks. Common side effects include headaches, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. More severe complications, such as meningitis, seizures, and arachnoiditis (inflammation of the arachnoid membrane), can occur but are less frequent. Proper technique and close monitoring can help mitigate these risks.
