[Successful treatment of treatment-resistant opioid-induced constipation in a patient with incomplete paraplegia with methylnaltrexone].
    Schmerz (Berlin, Germany), 2009, Volume: 23, Issue:5

    We observed a patient with incomplete, cervical paraplegia and opioid-induced constipation who developed a resistance to laxatives after 15 years of treatment. The constipation-induced reduction in the patient's quality of life was improved using 12 mg methylnaltrexone, a peripheral mu-opioid receptor antagonist, administered subcutaneously twice a week.
