摘要
Neuropathic pain sometimes needs invasive pain therapy. We present the case of a patient with cancer-related neuropathic pain untreatable with conventional pain therapy after tumour-embolization. The patient was treated successfully with intrathecal (i.t.) administration of S(+)-ketamine, in addition to morphine. Plasma concentrations of S(+)-ketamine were measured regularly throughout the treatment. Continuous i.t. administration of S(+)-ketamine over a period of 3 months demonstrated low plasma levels and no unwanted side-effects.
