AbstractA case report and discussion of a 64-year-old white female who presented with uncontrolled pain in several body areas despite massive oral controlled release morphine use is presented. Her pain was not associated with much spasticity. This patient responded remarkably to intrathecal baclofen even after the opioid was tapered and discontinued. The potential usefulness of baclofen in seemingly opioid-resistant chronic pain is discussed.
