Core Tip |
The long-term effects of intrathecal baclofen treatment (IBT) on bone mineral density and body composition profile were investigated in a man with spinal cord injury compared to two matched participants with different age and time since injury. Bone mineral density loss was greater at the distal femur and proximal tibia compared to the matches without IBT. Furthermore, the case had greater percentage leg fat mass and lower percentage lean mass compared to both matches. The negative side effects of IBT implantation warrant further studies considering the prevalence of osteoporosis related fractures, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders in this population. |
