“…[6][7][8] This failure may be the result of a low number of functional opioid receptors at the peripheral sensory-nerve terminals, a relatively impermeable perineurial barrier, a low coupling efficacy of opioid receptors to G-proteins, or the absence of endogenous opioid ligands (reviewed in Stein et al 6 ). Thus, the present study confirms previous experience in that (1) analgesic effects are extremely difficult to detect when pain in the placebo group is low, and (2) patients without inflammatory pain are not the ideal population in which to demonstrate effects of peripherally applied opioids.…”

“…[3][4][5] Morphine is a potent opiate analgesic drug that is commonly used to relieve pain. [6][7][8] Apart from the IA morphine, bupivacaine is one of the most often stated analgesics that could effectively reduce pain in the earliest period after arthroscopic knee surgery. [9][10][11][12] A majority of existing studies have suggested that IA morphine provides better postoperative pain relief than IA bupivacaine and have supported its use after arthroscopy.…”
