French term or phrase: au long court
Report on clinical trials of chronic intrathecal baclofen infusion to treat spinal and brian injured patients.
"Aucun cas mortalité n'a été rapporté en relation directe avec la procédure d'implantation puis d'infusion chronique de baclofène intrathécal au long court."
Is this just another way of saying 'long-term'?

disagree  Anne Pietrasik: continuous and long term are not synonymous ! continuous here means that the drug is administered continusously via an intravenous infusion as opposed to bolus administrations of the drug.

  -> It is why I spoke of continuous, long-term treatment. When I wrote "continuous intrathecal infusion of baclofen", I was not translating long-term. Having been treated for a SCI, I know how baclofen works.

Explanation:
Just goes to show that it's not because a word makes hits on Google that it is correct. An excellent lesson for those who rely more on Google than on dictionaries, real research work and a sound knowledge of the field involved !
