Drug-related side effects of long-term intrathecal morphine therapy.
BACKGROUND The introduction of intrathecal opioid administration for intractable chronic non-malignant pain and cancer pain is considered as one of the most important breakthroughs in pain management. Morphine, the only opioid approved by FDA for intrathecal administration, has been increasingly utilized for this purpose. For over 3 decades, there have been numerous reports on the non-nocicepti...
متن کاملCASE REPORTS Recurrent Cellulitis Associated with Long-Term Intrathecal Opioid Infusion Therapy: A Case Report and Review of the Literaturepme_854
Background. Lower-limb edema is recognized as an untoward side effect of intrathecal opioid therapy. Cellulitis, an acute, spreading pyogenic inflammation of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, predisposed by persistent leg edema, can become problematic in patients on intraspinal opioid infusion therapy. Objective. To present a case of recurrent cellulitis in an elderly lady with persistent leg...
متن کاملAcute pain management in patient on intrathecal opioid infusion for chronic pain.
Intraspinal drug delivery (IDD) has been increasingly utilized since 1980s, initially in patients with cancer pain, and subsequently in patients with intractable, chronic, nonmaligmant pain. By infusing a small amount of opioid into the cerebrospinal fluid in close proximity to the receptor sites in the spinal cord, profound analgesia may be achieved while sparing some of the side effects due t...
متن کاملChronic spinal infusion of loperamide alleviates postsurgical pain in rats.
Plantar incision in rat generates spontaneous pain behaviour. The opioid drug, morphine used to treat postsurgical pain produces tolerance after long-term administration. Loperamide, a potent mu-opioid agonist, has documented analgesic action in various pain conditions. However, loperamide analgesia and associated tolerance following continuous spinal administration in postsurgical pain has not...
متن کاملSpinal amino acid release and precipitated withdrawal in rats chronically infused with spinal morphine.
Glutamate receptors are implicated in the genesis of opioid tolerance and dependence. Factors governing release of amino acids in systems chronically exposed to opiates, however, remain undefined. Using rats, each prepared with a spinal loop dialysis catheter and with a chronic lumbar intrathecal infusion catheter connected to a subcutaneous minipump, the release of amino acids before and durin...
