Context Patients’ preference for morphine therapy has received little attention in the setting of chronic refractory breathlessness. However, this is one important factor in considering longer term therapy. Objectives The aim of this secondary analys...

Journal Article
Currow, D. C., Quinn, S., Ekström, M., Kaasa, S., Johnson, M. J., Somogyi, A. A., & Klepstad, P. (2015). Can variability in the effect of opioids on refractory breathlessness be explained by genetic factors?. BMJ open, 5(5), e006818-e006818. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2014-006818

© 2015, BMJ Publishing Group. All rights reserved. Objectives: Opioids modulate the perception of breathlessness with a considerable variation in response, with poor correlation between the required opioid dose and symptom severity. The objective of... Read More about Can variability in the effect of opioids on refractory breathlessness be explained by genetic factors?.
