Continuous Morphine Plus Injection Preemptive Pain Option
Preemptive analgesia using continuous subcutaneous morphine combined with a single intrathecal
injection of morphine in patients who undergo posterior lumbar interbody fusion provides a favorable analgesic
effect and compares favorably with continuous subcutaneous morphine alone, according to a study published in the
July issue of the Journal of Spinal Disorders & Techniques.
