A Prospective Multicentre Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Tolerability of Osmotic Release Oral System (Oros®) Hydromorphone in Opioid‐Naive Cancer Patients: Results of the Korean South West Oncology Group Study

Pain Research and Management, Volume 20, Issue 6, Page 293-299, 2015., 2015
BACKGROUND: Osmotic release oral system (OROS®) hydromorphone is a potent, long‐acting opioid analgesic, effective and safe for controlling cancer pain in patients who have received other strong opioids. To date, few studies have examined the efficacy of hydromorphone for pain relief in opioid‐naive cancer patients.

Retrospective Analysis of High‐Dose Intrathecal Morphine for Analgesia after Pelvic Surgery

Pain Research and Management, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 19-26, 2011., 2011
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of intrathecal opioids (ITOs) for postoperative analgesia has been limited by reduced opioid dosing because of opioid‐related side effects, most importantly respiratory depression. To overcome these limitations, high‐dose intrathecal morphine was combined with a continuous intravenous (IV) postoperative naloxone infusion ...
