1 Br. J. Anaesth. (1981), 5, 81 CLINICAL EVALUATION OF DIAZEPAM FOR RELIEF OF POSTOPERATIVE PAIN P. N. SINGH, P. SHARMA, P. K. GUPTA AND K. PANDEY SUMMARY Morphine 10 mg or diazepam 10 mg or a mixture of morphine 5 mg and diazepam 5 mg were given i.m. to three groups of 5 patients for relief of pain in the period immediately after operation. The patients had undergone upper abdominal operation for which a uniform regime of premedication and anaesthesia had been used. Pain was assessed by an observer before and after treatment and by the subjects, using a fivepoint scoring scheme. The pain scores before treatment and at 0-, 60-, 90- and 10-min intervals after treatment were compared by Ridit analysis. All three treatments produced significant relief, but the relief after diazepam alone was not as long-lasting as after the other two treatments. No clinically significant cardiovascular or respiratory complications occurred. Diazepam alone was associated with significantly more restlessness and morphine alone was associated with significantly more sickness. The combination of morphine and diazepam was considered to be the treatment of choice. In an uncontrolled study Bruce (1968) compared the pain-relieving actions of diazepam and morphine in patients who had undergone surgical operations of varying severity and formed the opinion that the analgesic action of the two drugs was comparable. Hollis (1968), Kyles (1968) and Moore (1968) also observed that the use of diazepam reduced the requirement of narcotic analgesics in the period after operation, but the claim of an analgesic action of diazepam has not been supported by others (McClish, 1966; Haslettt, 1968; Dundee and Wyant, 1974). No clinical study evaluating the pain-relieving properties of diazepam has been reported. This double-blind study was undertaken to compare diazepam and morphine. METHODS Subjects One hundred and five patients complaining of pain following upper abdominal operations were studied. All patients weighed kg, were aged between 0 and 60 yr, and were of physical status grades 1 and of the American Society of Anesthesiologists' classification. None had re- P. N. SINGH, M. D.

Anaesthetic technique Atropine 0.6 mg and promethazine 5 mg were given i.m min before operation. Anaesthesia was induced with thiopentone -5 mgkg"' and tracheal intubation facilitated by suxamethonium mg. Anaesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide and oxygen :1.5 litre min ~' in a circle system with spill-over and a nondepolarizing neuromuscular blocking drug was given to permit controlled ventilation of the lungs. At the end of operation, its action was antagonized by neostigmine 1- mg preceded by atropine sulphate mg. The duration of anaesthesia varied between 75 and 150 min. Assessment and relief of postoperative pain When patients had become fully conscious in the recovery ward, the severity of pain was estimated by both the patient and the observer (P. N. S.) according to the method described by Loan, Morrison and Dundee (1968). This rates pain on afive-pointscale (table I) and uses both the patient's and trained observer's estimate of severity. Only those subjects whose initial pain score was or 4 were included in the study. Patients were allocated at random to receive one of three treatments which was given i.m. by another investigator (so that its nature would not Macmillan Publishers Ltd 1981

Arterial pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate were also recorded at the same time as the pain scores. Other observations included the occurrence of restlessness, sleep, vomiting and pain at the site of injection of the trial drugs. Patient's estimate The significance of changes in the mean values of the mean arterial pressure (Jennings, 1964), heart rate and respiratory rate was assessed using the paired t test. The mean pain severity scores before and after treatment were compared using Ridit analysis (Bross, 1958; Dundee, Moore and Nicholl, 196; Pandey, Ratra and Badola, 1967). The numbers of subjects with and without a particular characteristic (table V) were charted as x contingency tables (Bailey, 1959). RESULTS Three groups of 5 fit patients were broadly comparable with respect to mean age, body weight, sex distribution and frequency of ASA risk grades (table II). TABLE II.

Using the method of comparison, the efficacy of the three treatments was indistinguishable 0min after drug administration. Thereafter, diazepam alone proved to be significantly less effective in relieving pain when compared with morphine alone or the combination of morphine and diazepam. These conclusions applied irrespective of the ridit analysis being based on the patient's or the observer's estimate of pain severity. Cardiovascular and respiratory effects A significant reduction in the mean of mean arterial pressure and mean respiratory rate was associated with each of the three treatments (table IV). However, the decrease in the mean of the of pain at the injection site. Treatment with diazepam alone was associated with a significantly greater frequency of restlessness and failure to sleep. Morphine alone was followed by a significantly greater frequency of sickness, but was not associated with persistent pain at the injection site. DISCUSSION Using subjective and observer pain scores as a means of assessing analgesia we found that significant pain relief occurred in the patients who had received diazepam, but it was not as sustained as after morphine or after a combination of morphine and diazepam in smaller doses. The precise mechanism of the "pain relieving" action of diazepam is difficult to explain and, as suggested by Brown (1968), its sedative and tranquillizing properties may, to a large extent, be TABLE IV.

The sedative action of morphine is thought to contribute to analgesia. The relative brevity of the "analgesic" action of diazepam, as compared with that of morphine, is reminiscent of the placebo response, where psychological factors play a major part. Another contributory factor may be the central muscle relaxant action of diazepam since muscle spasm is an invariable component of the pain following abdominal incisions. We do not know the nature of the "true analgesia" component of narcotic analgesics, and the "totality of behavioural change" still remains the only yardstick for measurement of analgesic action. This study has provided evidence of a strong interaction between morphine and diazepam. Our results show that, in the doses used, morphine alone was superior to the morphine diazepam combination as far as intensity of analgesia is concerned, but the use of the combination was associated with significantly less
5 DIAZEPAM FOR POSTOPERATIVE PAIN RELIEF 85 sickness. The cardiovascular and respiratory effects of the combination and morphine alone were identical. The frequency of pain at the injection site was low when the combination was used and should not detract from its value (Marks, 1967; Eisenberg, Taub and Burana, 1974). Lawrence (1966) has suggested that the use of drugs to relieve pain should not be guided solely by their efficacy, but also by their propensity to produce wanted side actions. The value of tranquillizers as adjuvants in the relief of chronic pain is well known and they have an established place in treatment. This is the first report of their use in the treatment of pain following surgery. Undoubtedly this subject is worthy of further investigation. It must be emphasized that our encouraging results apply to mg doses of diazepam; if these are increased then the prolonged soporific effect of the benzodiazepine might be a disadvantage. Furthermore, the preoperative use of diazepam with "normal" doses of analgesic has resulted in undue cardiovascular depression (Dundee et al., 1970). REFERENCES Bailey, N. T. J. (1959).

Alle drei Behandlungsweisen erzielten signifikante Schmerzlinderung, doch war die Wirkung mit Diazepam allein nicht so lang andauemd als mit den beiden anderen Behandlungsweisen. Klinisch signifikante kardiovaskulare oder respiratorische Komplikationen traten nicht auf. Diazepam alltin bewirkte wesentlich erhohte Ruhelosigkeit, Morphium allein wcsentlich mehr uoeikeii.

EVALUACION CLINICA DEL DIAZEPAM PARA EL ALIVIO DEL DOLOR POSOPERATIVO SUMARIO Se administro por via intramuscular 10 mg de morfina, 6 10 mg de diazepam, o una mezcla de 5mg de morfina y 5mg de diazepam, a tres grupos de 5 pacientes, para aliviar el dolor inmediatamente despues de la operacion. A los pacientes se les sometio a operacion quinirjica de la parte superior del abdomen, para lo que se uso un regimen uniforme de premedicacion y de anestesia. El dolor se evaluo mediante un observador antes y despues del tratamiento, asi como por pane de los sujetos, utilizando para esto un plan de puntuacion de 5 puntos. La puntuacion de dolor antes del tratamiento y a intervalos de 0, 60,90 y 10 mm dsspu" de dicho tratamiento se comparo con el analisis de Ridit. Los tres tratamientos produjeron un alivio significativo, pero el producido por la administracion exclusiva de diazepam no fue de tanta duration como el alivio conseguido despues de los otros dos tratamientos. No tuvieron lugar complicaciones cardiovasculares ni respiratorias de signification clinica. Solo el diazepam vino asociado con un significativo aumento de la inquietud y solo la morfina vino asociada con un grado significativo de aumento de la enfermedad. Se considero que la combination de diazepam y morfina es el tratamiento opcional.
