Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Dyspnea and morphine aerosols in the palliative care of lung cancer].
To evaluate the effectiveness of morphine aerosols in the treatment of dyspnoea in the palliative care of patients with lung cancer. ⋯ The fact that both aerosols lead to a similar improvement in dyspnoea scores suggests that humidification of the airways rather than a pharmacological action may be beneficial in the treatment of dyspnoea in terminally ill patients.
