| Abstract;Direct opioid administration to epidural space and subarachnoid space has great potency for pain relief, and is chosen when systemic administration has limited effects. Subarachnoid analgesia by opioids is effective for long-term treatment through neuraxial route. It produces pain-killing effects only hoped for by systemic administration, is applicable in home treatment. In particular, epidural analgesia is easy to introduce and terminate. Epidural analgesia often fails to act against pain that reaches multiple spinal segments as medical fluid is regulated by the extent of epidural space. The most dangerous complication is paralysis and meningitis provoked by epidural abscess. |
