چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundStandardized objective methods to assess the analgesic effects of opioids, enable identification of underlying mechanisms of drug actions in the central nervous system. Opioids may exert their effect on both cortical and spinal levels. In this study actions of morphine at both levels were investigated, followed by analysis of a possible correlation between the cortical processing and spinal transmission.MethodsThe study was conducted after a double-blinded, two-way crossover design in thirty-nine healthy participants. Each participant received 30 mg morphine or placebo as oral solution in randomized order. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded during rest and during immersion of the hand into ice-water. Electrical stimulation of the sole of the foot was used to elicit the nociceptive withdrawal reflex and the reflex amplitude was recorded.ResultsData from thirty subjects was included in the data analysis. There was no change in the activity in resting EEG (P > 0.05) after morphine administration as compared to placebo. During cold pressor stimulation, morphine significantly lowered the relative activity in the delta (1-4 Hz) band (P = 0.03) and increased the activity in the alpha (8-12 Hz) band (P = 0.001) as compared to placebo. The reflex amplitudes significantly decreased after morphine administration (P = 0.047) as compared to placebo. There was no correlation between individual EEG changes during cold pressor stimulation and the decrease in the reflex amplitude after morphine administration (P > 0.05).ConclusionsCold pressor EEG and the nociceptive reflex were more sensitive to morphine analgesia than resting EEG and can be used as standardized objective methods to assess opioid effects. However, no correlation between the analgesic effect of morphine on the spinal and cortical assessments could be demonstrated.
