Continuous Intrathecal Morphine Infusion in Patients With Vertebral Fractures Due to Osteoporosis

Abstract

Our results show that intrathecal administration of morphine efficiently relieves the symptoms of pain and improves QOL. Continuous intrathecal administration of morphine appears to be an alternative therapy to conventional analgesic drug delivery and has advantages in those patients who have severe side effects with systemic administration of analgesics.
