Use of Topical Morphine to Relieve Painful Pressure Ulcers.
Introduction: Topical morphine is a potential treatment option for painful pressure ulcers in hospice and palliative care patients who favor avoidance of systemic opioid therapy.
Case: A 65-year-old male African-American veteran with a painful stage 3 sacral pressure injury was hesitant to take systemic opioids to control his pain, as he wished to stay alert for family and friends. Topical morphine was initiated, and within 24 hours the patient reported a significant reduction in pain on the numeric rating scale.
Discussion: Palliative pharmacotherapy is focused on reducing the symptoms of disease while avoiding side effects that impair quality of life. Evidence suggests topical morphine can be an effective treatment option for painful pressure ulcers and can reduce the need for systemic opioids in select patients.
Conclusion: In the palliative care setting, topical morphine may be considered for compassionate use when treatment with systemic analgesics is undesired, inadequate, or poorly tolerated.
