Abstract

An open study of 47 patients with cancer pain treated with repeated doses of a controlled-release oral morphine tablet was conducted to assess the acceptability of this drug and develop guidelines for its use. Each patient kept a detailed record of pain, analgesic intake, side effects, and other medications. A nurse observer/clinician followed these patients on a daily basis and kept similar records. Of 47 patients who began the study, 37 were successfully stabilized with standard morphine sulfate tablets and then switched to controlled-release morphine (CRM). Twenty-one patients who completed the study took CRM every 12 h, and 16 patients received a dose every 8 h. Doses of the CRM ranged from 30 mg every 12 h to 360 mg every 8 h. Less frequent doses and uninterrupted sleep were reported advantages. All of the patients completing the study chose to continue this method of pain management and extended care data were obtained from each patient poststudy through continued monitoring.
