Available through the Washington State Health Care Authority Web site.

This technology assessment was commissioned by the Washington State Health Technology Assessment Program for use by the Health Technological Clinical Committee (HTCC). The HTCC uses evidence, primarily as assessed in this report, to determine whether health technologies are safe, effective, and cost effective, and therefore should be covered by state programs that pay for health care. This systematic review evaluates relevant published research describing implantable infusion pumps in people with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP). ECRI Institute's technology assessment provides an independent, in-depth, formal evaluation of the strength of evidence for the safety and...
