Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Reduction in postoperative pain after spinal fusion with instrumentation using intrathecal morphine.
The efficacy of intrathecal (spinal) morphine in the treatment of pain after posterior spinal fusions was assessed. ⋯ Relatively high-dose spinal morphine administration provides simple, reliable postoperative pain control after posterior spinal fusions. This may contribute to reduced postoperative respiratory morbidity and an improved outcome.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
The clinical efficacy of piroxicam fast-dissolving dosage form for postoperative pain control after simple lumbar spine surgery: a double-blinded randomized study.
A prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical trial was conducted. ⋯ Sublingual administration of piroxicam fast-dissolving dosage form after simple spine surgery is effective and efficient in relief of postoperative pain. Because of its low side effects and high toleration, piroxicam fast-dissolving dosage form may be considered as an alternative for postoperative pain control during the early postoperative period.
