Popis: BACKGROUND Despite advances in pain management, several patients continue to experience severe acute pain after lumbar spine surgery. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and effectiveness of single ultra-low-dose intrathecal (IT) naloxone in combination with IT morphine for reducing pain intensity, pruritus, nausea, and vomiting in patients undergoing lumbar laminectomy with spinal fusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this double-blind trial, patients scheduled for lumbar laminectomy with spinal fusion were randomly assigned to receive single ultra-low-dose IT naloxone (20 μg) and IT morphine (0.2 mg) (group M+N) or IT morphine (0.2 mg) alone (group M). The severity of postoperative pain, pruritus and nausea, and frequency of vomiting were assessed at recovery from anesthesia and, subsequently, at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively using an 11-point (0-10) visual analogue scale. RESULTS A total of 77 patients completed the study, and there were significant differences in postoperative pain, pruritus, and nausea visual analogue scale between the groups (P
