Morphine Safety in Long-Term Pain Pump Implants
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study checks whether morphine stays safe and sterile (free from harmful bacteria) when stored in implanted pumps for chronic pain. If you have an intrathecal pump—a small device that delivers pain medication directly into the fluid around your spine—researchers want to test samples during your routine refill to make sure the medication hasn't degraded or become contaminated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have chronic (long-lasting) pain and use an implanted intrathecal pump for pain relief
- Your pump contains only morphine from Rafa Laboratories (not mixed with other drugs)
- Your pump refill is scheduled for 3 to 6 months from your last fill
- You do not have an active infection in your body or at the pump implant site
- You are able to give informed consent (understand and agree to participate)

This trial tests whether a single injection of morphine into the fluid around the spine can provide better pain relief after planned laparoscopic or robotic abdominal surgery. If you are having one of several types of major abdominal surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of at least 1 day, this study may be an option.
This study tests whether giving morphine into the spinal fluid during surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably after laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It may also reduce the need for other pain medicines.
This trial tests different doses of morphine given during spinal anesthesia to find the safest and most effective way to control pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a total hip replacement, you may be able to join.
This trial tests if giving a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can improve how well you feel and recover after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. The morphine is given through a spinal needle before surgery, and it may help control pain during and after the procedure.
This trial tests a pain pump after specific shoulder or knee surgeries to see how well it controls pain. It may help you recover more comfortably after surgery.
This study compares two ways of delivering pain medicine through an IV pump (called PCA) after surgery. One method gives a steady dose, and the other slowly reduces the dose. The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
