Over the past three decades, telemetric pumps have been used for the infusion of intrathecal baclofen in patients with severe spasticity, but the correlation between pump implantation and quality of life (QoL) has rarely been studied. The aim of this study was therefore to quantify QoL in these patients. ⋯ The first scale revealed a significant increase in QoL, whereas on the other two the increase was not significant. These results encourage us to continue this study in a larger patient sample, considering different types of pathology and presence/absence of caregivers.
