Summary

Eleven patients suffering from metastases to the lumbar spine or pelvis received multiple intrathecal injections of 0.5–1.5 mg morphine. The first injection produced pain relief for 18–84 hours. A hypoalgesia following the intrathecal injection persisted up to 4 days. No change in blood pressure or heart rate was noted.
