We report on a female outpatient with cancer of the ovary, who received continuous intravenous morphine infusion for terminal pain control. The patient was treated over a period of 48 days with a morphine dosage ranging from 10 to 60 mg/h, which kept her free of pain. With treatment, she was alert, communicative with her relatives and moved freely. At a later stage, we complemented the treatment with Diazepam and Haloperidol. No side-effects were observed over the whole period of morphine infusion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
