ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Prolonged opioid use carries risks, including addiction and dependence. A significant consequence of chronic opioid use is opioid-induced hyperalgesia (OIH), where patients experience heightened pain sensitivity. Managing OIH typically involves reducing opioid intake while mitigating withdrawal symptoms. This case report presents a patient with OIH treated with intravenous lidocaine and morphine. OIH presents complex pain management challenges, and lidocaine infusion has shown promise in mitigating its effects. Further research is needed to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of this treatment approach for patients with OIH.
