Compared with baseline, morphine significantly reduced pain intensity at 2, 5, and 10 minutes after administration (p&lt;0.05). The difference in pain intensity between patients who received morphine and those who received placebo, however, was significant only at the 5\u2010minute time point (p&lt;0.02). Patients receiving morphine also reported mild pain relief at 2 and 5 minutes after its administration. Peak analgesic effect was reported 2 minutes after its administration in three quarters of the patients. Significant gender differences also were observed in response to analgesic effect. In women, no significant differences in pain intensity were seen at any time between the morphine and placebo groups, whereas in men receiving morphine, pain intensity was significantly less at 2, 5, and 10 minutes compared with baseline and that seen in the placebo group. Women were generally more satisfied with their pain treatment than were men.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion.<\/jats:bold> A single 7.5\u2010mg intravenous bolus dose of morphine did not appear to provide adequate reduction in perceived pain intensity in patients with moderate\u2010to\u2010severe postoperative pain. In addition, in contrast to the findings of other experimental pain studies, our data suggest that women are more tolerant of postoperative pain than are men.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1592\/phco.24.17.1675.52335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,11,15]],"date-time":"2004-11-15T15:10:40Z","timestamp":1100531440000},"page":"1675-1680","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Analgesic and Hemodynamic Effects of a Single 7.5\u2010mg Intravenous Dose of Morphine in Patients with Moderate\u2010to\u2010Severe Postoperative Pain"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Ghassem E.","family":"Larijani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael E.","family":"Goldberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Irwin","family":"Gratz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David P.","family":"Warshal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1399-6576.1997.tb04784.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2346.1999.00427.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(99)03313-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0304-3959(02)00007-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000542-200201000-00009"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/01.ANE.0000068822.10113.9E"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.0265-0215.2000.00796.x"},{"issue":"24","key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","first-page":"574","article-title":"Morphine for postoperative analgesia.
