MorphiDex® (MS:DM) Double-Blind, Multiple-Dose Studies In Chronic Pain Patients Nathaniel P Katz, MD Journal of Pain and Symptom Management Volume 19, Issue 1, Pages 37-41 (January 2000) DOI: 10.1016/S0885-3924(99)00129-3
Fig. 1 Mean percentage of days patients experienced satisfactory pain relief during the crossover study. The shaded bar represents the MS:DM group; the open bar represents the MS group. Overall, there was no statistical difference in pain relief between the MS:DM group and MS group at any time point Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 2000 19, 37-41DOI: (10.1016/S0885-3924(99)00129-3)
Fig. 2 Average increase or decrease in morphine daily dose used to achieve satisfactory pain control over the initial 2 wk of the crossover study. The decrease from baseline in the MS:DM group was significant (P < 0.001). The increase from baseline in the MS group was significant (P = 0.007). The MS:DM group and the MS group were significantly different from each other (P < 0.001) Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 2000 19, 37-41DOI: (10.1016/S0885-3924(99)00129-3)
Fig. 3 Mean percentage of days patients experienced satisfactory pain relief during the run-in phase and during week 1, week 2, week 3, and week 4 of the parallel study. Shaded bars represent the MS:DM group; open bars represent the MS group. Overall, there was no statistical difference between the MS:DM group and the MS group at any time point Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 2000 19, 37-41DOI: (10.1016/S0885-3924(99)00129-3)
Fig. 4 Mean daily morphine dose (mg) during the run-in period (open bars) and after 4 wk (shaded bars) in patients randomized to receive MS or MS:DM. The change from the run-in period to the end of the 4-wk period measured at 16 mg in the MS group versus 1.6 mg in the MS:DM group, and was significantly different (P = 0.025) Journal of Pain and Symptom Management 2000 19, 37-41DOI: (10.1016/S0885-3924(99)00129-3)
