Abstract
An intrathecal drug delivery system configured to monitor one or more physiological conditions of the patient to look for opportunities to time medicament delivery to coincide with patient activity inferring heightened cerebrospinal fluid oscillations, thereby improving dispersion of the medicament within the intrathecal space of the patient. The intrathecal drug delivery system includes an implantable medical pump, one or more physiological sensors, and an external programmer configured to program the implantable medical pump with a treatment protocol specifying at least one period of time during which a specified quantity of medicament is to be administered during which the implantable medical pump utilizes data from the one or more physiological sensors to time delivery of the medicament.
