AbstractPatient controlled analgesia was developed to compare drug effects. Later its psychological implications were studied. Drug administration by intravenous or epidural injection has been used. The latter provides relief with much smaller doses. Simultaneous use of opioids and anti-inflammatory drugs enhances the analgesic effects. For pain relief in childbirth, opioids need to be combined with local anaesthetics for best results. Little has been achieved by patient controlled analgesia in the treatment of chronic pain.
