Patients with craniofacial cancer frequently suffer from severe pain. The traditional intrathecal, oral, or intravenous analgesics could only provide insufficient pain relief with many side effects. Thus, a more effective analgesia approach is required. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of placing the catheter of an intrathecal morphine pump in the prepontine cistern for the treatment of craniofacial cancer pain.
