Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in immune function, as measured by biomarkers in the blood, that happen with intrathecal (spinal) delivery of opioid medications for the treatment of moderate to severe cancer pain. Hypothesis: Treatment of pain with intrathecal (spinal) therapy is associated with little alteration of immune function as measured by biomarkers in the blood of cancer patients with moderate to severe pain.

Detailed description

Biomarkers of immune function will be measured before and after patients receive an intrathecal pain pump for management of cancer pain.
