Abstract:Objective To evaluate the efficacy of continuous intrathecal infusion of morphine (CIIM) on the intractable cancer pain. Methods Observing 50 patients with intractable cancer pain in our hospital with patient survival more than one month. Control and treated groups, labelled as A and B, are employed for the research, with A providing with tablets for oral morphine analgesia and B with CIIM. Key indicators, including pain scores, pain outbreaks, life satisfaction and quality, adverse drug reactions (Nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, urinary retention, drowsiness, itching, respiratory depression, and addiction), have been recorded and compared after the treatment with 1d、3d、5d、10d、15d、30d, together with an evaluation of the safety and comfort. Results With respect to Group A, Group B presents lower numerical rating scale and night pain breakthrough, but notably higher scores for life satisfaction and daily activity, together with decreased adverse drug reactions. Conclusion CIIM brings curative effect for intractable cancer pain, resulting in lower morphine usage, better life quality and reduced adverse reactions.
