| Research Abstract |
A single dose of intrathecal(IT) morphine for the acute phase of mild thoracic spinal cord injury(SCI) increased muscle tone of the hindlimbs and aggravated residual locomotor function predominantly viaμ-opioid receptor activation in the spinal cord. In contrast, continuous infusion of IT morphine not only aggravates locomotor function but also attenuates functional recovery without involving activation of the opioid receptor. These results indicate that the mechanisms of the aggravation of locomotor dysfunction by continuous infusion of IT morphine may be different from that of a single dose of IT morphine. Caution is warranted when morphine are continuously administered for alleviating the pain in the acute phase of SCI.
