BACKGROUND
Impaired pain inhibitory and enhanced pain facilitatory mechanisms are repeatedly reported in patients with central sensitization pain. However, the exact effects of frequently prescribed opioids on central pain modulation are still unknown.
METHODS
A randomized, double-blind,
OBJECTIVE
To compare analgesia and adverse effects during oral morphine and oxycodone and transdermal fentanyl and buprenorphine administration in cancer patients with pain.
METHODS
Cancer patients treated at home and in outpatient clinics with severe pain (numerical rating scale score 6-10) fail to
To compare effects of oral morphine and oxycodone and transdermal fentanyl and buprenorphine on quality of life (QoL) of cancer patients with severe pain.Cancer patients with severe pain (NRS 6-10) treated at home and in outpatient clinics who failed to Morphine may decrease the intensity of chronic breathlessness but data from a large randomised controlled trial (RCT) are lacking. This first, large, parallel-group trial aimed to test the efficacy and safety of regular, low-dose, sustained-release (SR) morphine compared with placebo Treating cancer pain continues to possess a major challenge. Here, we report that a traditional Chinese medicine Xiao-Ai-Tong (XAT) can effectively suppress pain and adverse reactions following morphine treatment in patients with bone cancer pain. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Quality of Life
OBJECTIVE
Patients with malignancy sometimes develop painful mucositis and require patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) to treat their pain. Pain disrupts sleep and there is some evidence that analgesic medications also disrupt sleep. This study examined whether treatment with the sedative hypnotic
Herein we summarize a discussion on the topic of how psychopharmaceuticals for potential military operational use may be evaluated based on their effects on performance and safety, and introduce two manuscripts: the first (Caldwell and Caldwell; 1) addressing the operational use of fatigue
The effect of opioids on inspiratory muscle function under high mechanical load is still unknown. Even less clear is the extent to which opioids influence the shift of the electromyographic power spectrum of the inspiratory muscles to lower frequencies during ventilatory stress. We studied seven
We studied 24 patients undergoing elective cholecystectomy and randomized to either conventional postoperative pain treatment, with intermittent nicomorphine (10 to 15 mg) and acetaminophen (1 gm) on request, or thoracic epidural analgesia with plain bupivacaine for 48 hours and epidural morphine 4
This study examined the effect of epidural analgesia on the development of postoperative fatigue and the ability to ambulate after surgery. Seventeen patients admitted for elective abdominal surgery were randomized to receive postoperative analgesia with a continuous infusion of epidural fentanyl
Morphine is endogenously synthesized in the central nervous system and endogenous dopamine is thought to be necessary for endogenous morphine formation. As Parkinson's disease results from the loss of dopamine and is associated with central pain, we considered how endogenous morphine is regulated in
The epidural instillation of morphine for pain control has been utilized for some time, although primarily intraoperatively or for patients with chronic severe pain, as in terminal cancer. Long term indwelling catheter or subarachnoid administration of epidural morphine are both potentially
The pathogenesis of the pruritus that complicates cholestasis in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is uncertain. The limited and inconsistent efficacy of conventional empiric therapies, such as anion exchange resins and rifampicin, has led to inconclusive trials of invasive experimental
1. Twelve healthy subjects received 10 mg morphine HCl delivered transdermally from an occlusive reservoir applied to a small area of skin, painlessly de-epithelialised by vacuum suction. On a separate occasion, 10 mg morphine HCl was given as an i.v. infusion over 20 min. 2. Venous blood samples
Postoperative analgesia and the side effects of epidurally injected morphine were investigated in a double-blind study. Following lumbar epidural anesthesia for orthopedic operations, 174 patients received, in a randomized, double-blind fashion, either 0.1 mg/kg of morphine epidurally, 0.1 mg/kg of
