    Author: Penn RD.
    Journal: Neurol Clin; 1985 May; 3(2):439-51. PubMed ID: 2862572.
    Abstract:
    Implanted drug pumps provide a new way to infuse medication chronically to the nervous system in a selective fashion. They have been of value in treating pain of cancer and spasticity through spinal subarachnoid catheters. Treatment of Alzheimer's disease is currently being investigated using intraventricular bethanechol.
