Spinal Opiates for Benign Pain
Controversial
Mixed reviews and results
Reporting of outcomes non-uniform
No definitive end-point for therapy
8/3/2006
Rationale of IT Drug Infusion
Provide high concentration of drug at the site
of interaction with spinal receptors and
minimize spread to other regions in the
brain
8/3/2006
History of Opiate Analgesia
1901 - intrathecal injection of morphine
1915 - antagonist of morphine discovered
1951 - 1st human use of morphine antagonists
1976 - 1st use of IT morphine in animals
1980 - spinal morphine used for cancer pain

Mu Receptor
Defined by affinity for morphine
Less affinity for other receptor subtypes
Most clinically important opioids selective for Mu receptor
Cross react at higher doses
• 1 - supraspinal
2 – spinal
Most analgesic effects of systemic morphine mediated through 1
effects
70% located pre-synaptically

Opioid Recptor Physiology
G-protein-coupled receptor
family
Synthesized in DRG
Second messenger using
cAMP
Negative coupling
Inhibit cAMP via Giprotein
 And  - opening of K+
channels
 - Closing of ca2+

Opioid Actions
Analgesia
Pruritis
Urinary retention
Autonomic Effects
Cough suppression, orthostatic hypotension
• Nucleus tractus solitarius and ambiguous, locus ceruleus
Respiratory depression
• Nucleus tractus solitarius, parabrachial nucleus
Nausea/vomiting
• Area postrema
Constipation
Meiosis
• Superior colliculus, pretectal nuclei
Endocrine effects
Posterior pituitary – inhibition of vasopressin
Hormonal effects – hypothalamic infundibulum
Behavioral effects
Amygdala, hippocampus, nucleus accumbuns, basal ganglia
Motor rigidity

100 mg parenteral morphine =
10 mg epidural morphine =
1 mg intrathecal morphine

8/3/2006
Implantable Drug Pumps
Programmable
Constant flow
8/3/2006
Constant Flow Pump
Drug delivered at constant, pre-programmed rate
ADVANTAGES
Unlimited life expectancy
Less costly (?)
DISADVANTAGES
Less versatile than programmable pumps
Dose changes require pump refill
Flow rates influenced by physical parameters

altitudes

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

General Guidelines for IT Drug
Selection
Consider these issues regarding administration of
intrathecal drugs:
Drug stability
Drug-drug compatibility for co-administration
Drug-pump compatibility
Effect of diluents on pump
pH
Choose appropriate concentration based on:
Desired dose
Pump capabilities
Refill interval (no less than 2-4 wks)
8/3/2006
General Guidelines (cont.)
DOSING STRATEGY
Dose escalation with inadequate analgesia
Cautious dose reduction if adequate analgesia but intolerable side effects
Addition of drug; reduction of opioid dose with second analgesic
EVALUATION OF THERAPEUTIC FAILURE
Comprehensive patient reevaluation
Assess pump and system integrity
Interrogate and empty (refill assess volume)
– Dye study of catheter integrity
Pathophysiology of the pain
8/3/2006
Trialing for IT Therapy
What do we know about screening?
Multiple accepted methods
No consensus as to the single best method
8/3/2006
Questions Regarding Trialing
Screening method
Duration of trial
Drug and dose
Use of placebo
Systemic opioids
Criteria for success
8/3/2006
Functional (Continuous) Trial
ADVANTAGES
Most accurately replicates permanent pump
Allows for longer trials
Controlled dose titration
Assess starting dose for IT therapy
Reduce risk of drug-related side effects
Dissipates placebo effect over time
Assessment of functional outcome
DISADVANTGES
Procedurally more complicated
Requires greater expertise
Higher morbidity
More costly
8/3/2006
Epidural Vs. Intrathecal
CRITERIA
EPIDURAL
INTRATHECAL
Slower onset of analgesia
Faster onset of analgesia
Greater systemic effects
Minimal systemic effects
Shorter-lasting
Longer-lasting
Dose
Higher dose to achieve
effect
Lower dose required (1/10
epidural dose)
Adverse Effects/Risks
Higher incidence of
systemic side effects
Risk of epidural
abscess
Post-LP headache
Respiratory depression
Meningitis
Onset of Action
Systemic Effects
Duration of Effect
8/3/2006
Placebo Administration
Rationale: reduce the likelihood of a false positive trial
Normal individuals may exhibit a placebo response
Difficulty interpreting placebo response
A positive placebo response should not necessarily
mean “no pump”
Functional trialing with dose titration dissipates the
placebo response over time
8/3/2006
Oral Opioids During Trial
No consensus on alteration of systemic opioids during
the trial
Maintaining the patient on a portion of their daily dose
will lessen the likelihood of withdrawal
Withdrawal from systemic opioids may result in
reduction in opioid-induced hyperalgesia
May produce a “false positive” result
50-75% reduction in systemic dose
Liberal use of “breakthrough” medication
Minimal use of “breakthough” medication can be taken as one
objective measure of pain relief
8/3/2006
IT Bolus (ITB) Vs. Continuous Epidural
Infusion (CEI)
86 patient screened for inclusion
28 excluded from inclusion
58 patients approached
18 declined inclusion
40 patients randomized
ITB (n=18) or CEI (n=19)
27 successful trial - pump implantation
ITB, 67% (12/18)
CEI, 79% (15/19)
3 patients lost to follow-up
ITB (n=10), CEI (n=14

8/3/2006
IT Bolus Vs. CEI
No significant difference in 6 month outcomes between
ITB and CEI
ITB – 60% “successful” response
CEI – 64% “successful” response
Drug-related complications more common in ITB group
(88%) vs. CEI group (70%)
CEI 2.5 times more costly ($4,762 vs. 1,862)
CONCLUSION: Differences in pain and
functional response to long-term IT opioids
among patients selected by either trial method
are not large

Nociceptive pain responds best to spinal
opiates
Neuropathic pain responds to spinal
opiates but may require higher dosages

synergistic in neuropathic pain

Spinal Opiates for Benign Pain
Maron J, Loeser J: The Clinical Journal Pain, 1996
Data insufficient to permit formal analysis
The proper role of intraspinal opioids in the treatment
of non-malignant pain cannot be determined from the
existing literature
Spinal opiates for benign pain should be considered
experimental
All patients who receive such therapy should be part
of a clinical protocol
8/3/2006
Intrathecal Therapy vs. Oral Opioids, vs.
Functional Restoration Program for FBSS
Doleys, et. al.
Interpretation as to the most effective treatment depends on
the outcome measure emphasized. There is a “disconnect”
between ratings of pain, disability, mood, and quality of life.
The use of a multi-dimensional outcomes approach revealed
a number of inconsistencies in the data which could have
been overlooked using only pain ratings and patient
satisfaction data. No one treatment emerged as the most
effective across all of the disease specific and generic
measures. Although generally “satisfied” with treatment,
patients continued to report significant levels of pain,
disability, and impaired quality of life
8/3/2006
Unresolved Issues
How should outcome be measured?
Management of tolerance
Question of neurotoxicity
Development of hyperalgesia
Indefinite requirement for medical care
8/3/2006
The Bottom Line
There can be no substitute
for sound clinical
judgement based on a
detailed assessment of
each patient !
