This study is being conducted to compare intrathecal morphine using the commercially available intrathecal drug delivery systems (IDDS), and conventional medical management (CMM) in subjects with non-cancer, refractory chronic pain.
This study will evaluate the following objectives: Primary objective: 1\. To compare the change in pain intensity from baseline based on the Numeric Rating Scale \[NRS\] between subjects randomized to the IDDS group and subjects randomized to the CMM group.The comparison will be conducted at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months following enrollment. The evaluation at 6 months will be considered the primary time point for evaluation. Secondary objectives: For each of the following secondary objectives, the comparisons between the IDDS group and CMM group will be made using the intra-subject change from baseline as the dependent variable. 1. Compare the subject reported PROMIS 29 between the IDDS group and CMM group. Individual subject scores recorded at baseline and months 3, 6, 9 and 12. 2. Compare the accrued cost of therapy for pain control including those related to adverse events, ED visits, cost of medications between the IDDS group and CMM group 3. Compare the number of other concurrent treatments performed on each subject between the IDDS group and CMM group. Individual subject counts recorded at months 3, 6, 9 and 12 will be compared. Additional safety objective: 1\. To characterize pain and device related adverse events for all subjects throughout the study through completion of 12 month follow-up or subject exit.

Compare the change in Numeric Pain Rating Scale between the IDDS group and the CMM group
The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale (11 point scale), where a higher scores equates to more pain. The primary endpoint for this post-marketing study is the comparison of the NPRS between the IDDS group and the CMM group collected in the Study Diary at various time points.
Time frame: Comparisons will be done prior to baseline visit and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month visits.
Compare the change in PROMIS 29 scores between the IDDS group and CMM group
Compare the subject reported Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 between the IDDS group and CMM group. PROMIS 29 assesses pain intensity using a 0-10 numeric rating scale (11 point scale), where a higher score equates to more pain. Other health domains are scored using a Likert scale, where higher scores represent more of the specific domain being measured. The other health domains that are scored are: depression; anxiety; physical function; pain interference; fatigue; sleep disturbance; and ability to participate in social roles and activities.
Time frame: Individual subject scores recorded at baseline visit and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month visits.
Comparison of the accrued cost of therapy for pain
Compare the accrued cost of therapy for pain control including those related to adverse events, ED visits, cost of medications between the IDDS group and CMM group.
Time frame: Cost of therapy will be obtained at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month visits.
Comparison of other concurrent treatments
Compare the number of other concurrent treatments performed on each subject between the IDDS group and CMM group.
Time frame: Individual subject counts recorded at 3, 6, 9 and 12 month visits will be compared.
