Intrathecal Analgesia Via a Percutaneous Port For the Management of Movement-Evoked Breakthrough Cancer Pain of Refractory Lower Extremity Cancer Pain: A Retrospective Review and Commentary
Abstract:Background and Objectives: Intrathecal analgesia (ITA) is a trusty treatment option for refractory and intractable cancer pain. However, there is still no general consensus on the analgesic effect of movement-evoked breakthrough pain (MEBTP) in the ITA setting. This study examined the effect of patient-controlled intrathecal analgesia (PCIA) on analgesic efficacy, emphasizing movement evoked breakthrough pain (MEBTP) in patients with refractory lower extremity cancer pain. Methods: A retrospective chart review… Show more
