[Arrest of the chronic pain syndrome using epidural analgesia in patients with disseminated prostate cancer]

Abstract

Treatments results of 22 cases of atypical generalized and local carcinoma of the prostate involving different cells and tissues and accompanied by persistent neuropathic pain are described in the paper. The method of continuous epidural analgesia by an opioid agonist ((a 2% morphine hydrochloride solution and a local anesthetic) and by a 0.5% anekain solution provides for a smaller single dose of the preparation and for a less number of injections that should be used; it also eliminates the pain stress and improves the life quality of patients.
