Intra-articular morphine and clonidine produce comparable analgesia but the combination is not more effective

Abstract: Both intra-articular morphine and clonidine produce analgesia. This study was designed to compare the analgesic effects of the two drugs, used separately and in combination. We studied 90 patients undergoing arthroscopy of the knee under general anaesthesia. Patients were allocated randomly to receive 20 ml of intra-articular isotonic saline solution containing morphine 2 mg, clonidine 150 micrograms or both. Pain was assessed on an visual analogue scale after operation and time for rescue medication was measu… Show more

“…Several studies in the literature have compared the analgesic action of morphine, bupivacaine or their association. Other drugs were also used 28,[33][34][35][36] . Morphine analgesic action is a consequence of its binding to local receptors.…”

“…Porém, a maioria dos protocolos permitiu o uso de opióides, principalmente o fentanil, no per-operatório, e poucos foram os trabalhos que evitaram o uso desses agentes que possuem efeito preemptivo 25,27,32 .Diversos trabalhos disponíveis na literatura compararam ação analgésica da bupivacaína, da morfina e da associação desses agentes. Outros fármacos também foram utilizados 28,[33][34][35][36] . A ação analgésica da morfina é decorrente da ligação desse opióide a receptores locais.…”

“…All the patients were monitored intra operatively using standardized equipment. Readings of echocardiograph, blood pressure and pulse oximetry at regular time intervals (at 5,15,30,60 and 90 mins or till end of procedure) as well as sensory and motor characteristics of the established block at various intervals (2,4,8,12,24,48 and 72 hours postoperatively) side effects, number of boluses and doses of PCEA, total amount of pain relief medications utilized over the period was observed, VAS scores and time of mobilization and discharge from the hospital were also noted in a pre-designed proforma.…”

“…To overcome this, various drugs such as opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), clonidine, neostigmine, and ketamine have been used with variable effects. [3][4][5] Recent evidence suggests that N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors located in the peripheral somatic and visceral pain pathways play an important role in nociception. [6] NMDA receptors have been found in joints as demonstrated in a rat model in a study conducted by Yu et al [7] ORIGINAL ARTICLE Despite recently intra-articular injection of magnesium sulfate had been shown to have post-operative analgesia after arthroscopy, [8] but the effect of magnesium sulfate as a NMDA receptor antagonist intra-articularly in reducing pain sensation, or as an adjunct to the local intra-articular anesthetic, is not known.…”
