BACKGROUND Butorphanol is an opioid analgesic with partial agonist actions at micro- and kappa-opioid receptors (MOR and KOR). Previous studies have demonstrated that both MOR antagonists and KOR agonists are effective in alleviating intrathecal morphine-induced itch in primates. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of butorphanol as an antipruritic and to elucidate the rec...
Nalmefene is a long-acting opioid antagonist that provides long-term relief from side effects of intrathecal morphine sulfate. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted to determine whether prophylactic nalmefene could decrease side effects of intrathecal morphine given during cesarean section, without affecting analgesia. Sixty parturients were given 0.25 mg of intrath...
Targeting analgesic drugs for spinal delivery reflects the fact that while the conscious experience of pain is mediated supraspinally, input initiated by high intensity stimuli, tissue injury and/or nerve injury is encoded at the level of the spinal dorsal horn and this output informs the brain as to the peripheral environment. This encoding process is subject to strong upregulation resulting i...
Intrathecal drug delivery is a mode of analgesic delivery that can be considered in those experiencing both refractory pain and excessive side effects from opioid and adjuvant analgesic use. Delivery of analgesic agents directly to the cerebral spinal fluid allows binding of the drug to receptors at the spinal level. Therefore, a reduced analgesic dosage can be afforded, resulting in reduction ...
We have previously demonstrated that both endomorphin-1 (EM-1) and endomorphin-2 (EM-2) at high doses (1.75-35 nmol) given intrathecally (i.t.) or intracerebroventricularly produce antinociception by stimulation of mu-opioid receptors. Now, we report that EM-2 at small doses (0.05-1.75 nmol), which injected alone did not produce antinociception, produces anti-analgesia against opioid agonist-in...
In terminally ill cancer patients with refractory pain, long-term spinal opioid therapy may provide a profound analgesia with minimal side effects. The reversibility of the technique and its efficacy throughout the body and for different types of pain are important advantages. For epidural administration, it is preferable to use lipid soluble opioids (sufentanil). For intrathecal administration...
The l-isomer of methadone possesses opioid activity, whereas the d-isomer is weak or inactive as an opioid. Both d- and l-methadone have been shown to bind to the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. To determine whether d-methadone has functional, in vivo NMDA receptor antagonist activity, the antinociceptive effects of d-methadone were evaluated in the rat tail-flick and formalin tests. Cumu...
According to recent studies, in opioid abusers, compared with non-addicts, spinal anesthesia with local anesthetics has been accompanied with shorter duration of action and lower level of sensory block.1-4 Thus, it seems that chronic opiate abuse can produce tolerance, or probably, crosstolerance to analgesic effects of local anesthetics. As yet, no clear explanation has been presented for this...
We have previously demonstrated that the antinociception induced by either endomorphin-1 or endomorphin-2 given supraspinally is mediated by the stimulation of mu-opioid receptors. However, the antinociception induced by endomorphin-2 given supraspinally contains additional components, which are mediated by the spinal release of dynorphin A (1-17) acting on kappa-opioid receptors and the spinal...
BACKGROUND Both neuraxial and peripheral regional analgesic techniques offer postoperative analgesia for total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. While no single technique is preferred, quadriceps muscle weakness from peripheral nerve blocks may impede rehabilitation. We designed this study to compare postoperative ambulation outcome in THA patients who were treated with a new ultrasound-guided f...
