AbstractNeuropathic pain following spinal cord injury (SCI) can be difficult to manage using currently available pain management techniques. We describe a case of chronic pain following SCI which failed to respond to a variety of approaches including intrathecal administration of morphine. Use of clonidine in addition to the morphine resulted in a marked decrease in pain. The use of intrathecal clonidine with or without opioids may present an effective alternative in the management of intractable SCI pain and other forms of neuropathic pain.
