however its use is associated with a high incidence of side effects such as pruritus &#40;itching&#41;&#44; nausea&#44; vomiting&#44; urinary retention and respiratory depression&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1-4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The term &#8220;pruritus&#8221; or &#8220;prurire&#8221; is an unpleasant sensation which causes the desire to scratch and varies in intensity&#46; It is one of the most common side effects in epidural and&#47;or intrathecal administration of opiates with an incidence of approximately 60&#37;&#44; compared to 2&#37;-10&#37; of the patients treated systematically&#59; thus&#44; its incidence depends on the route of administration&#46; This symptom is common in postpartum women&#46; The most affected areas are those innervated by the trigeminal&#44; probably due to their higher number of opiate receptors in the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve&#44; causing patients to scratch their nose and the upper part of the face&#46; There are several chemical mediators responsible for pruritus &#40;histamine&#44; serotonin&#44; cytokines&#44; growth factors&#44; prostaglandins&#44; etc&#46;&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1-6&#44;7</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The cause of pruritus induced by the administration of neuraxial opiates is uncertain&#59; nevertheless there are 3 theories that may explain its origin&#46; The 1<span class="elsevierStyleSup">st</span> theory is associated with the release of peripheral histamine caused by the administration of morphine&#59; however&#44; this theory has not been proven because the antihistamines were ineffective in the treatment of pruritus caused by intrathecal morphine&#46; The 2<span class="elsevierStyleSup">nd</span> theory involves &#956;-opioid receptors responsible for pain modulation and some side effects&#44; especially pruritus&#44; nausea and vomiting&#44; in the central nervous system activated by morphine&#46; This explains the antipruritic effects of naloxone and nalbuphine&#44; both &#956;-antagonists&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2&#44;3&#44;8</span> A 3<span class="elsevierStyleSup">rd</span> theory is that pruritus induced by the administration of neuraxial opiates could be related to the excitatory effects of opioids over nociceptive and non-nociceptive neurons in the anterior and posterior horns&#46; It has been reported that morphine can activate serotonin receptors due to an independent mechanism of the opioid receptors&#46; Therefore&#44; the direct irritation of the serotonin type-3 receptors in the spinal cord&#44; dorsal horn and bone marrow caused by the administration of morphine is possibly the mechanism of pruritus&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> In light of the above&#44; a great variety of medications has been evaluated for the prevention and treatment of pruritus induced by opioids&#44; including antihistamines&#44; 5-hydroxytryptamine &#40;5-HT3&#41; antagonists&#44; opioid receptor antagonists&#44; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs&#44; propofol and droperidol&#46; None of them have had satisfactory results&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1-3&#44;9&#44;10</span> Naloxone and nalbuphine are opioid antagonist drugs used for this purpose and proven to be effective by different authors as a therapeutic agent for the reversion of pruritus induced by the neuraxial administration of opioids&#46; Nalbuphine is an agonist-antagonist opioid and its analgesic effect and probable antipruritic effect are mediated by its action in <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">mu</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">kappa</span> receptors&#46;4&#44;10&#44;11 These medications could play a role in the treatment of pruritus&#44; with a disadvantage&#44; however&#44; because its preventive administration reduces its analgesic effictiveness&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3 </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Other medications used for the treatment of pruritus are the 5-HT3 receptor antagonists&#46; Ondansetron&#44; for example&#44; which has been successfully used in the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus&#44; because of its antipruritic effect and its role in the nociception&#44; contrary to the use of opioid receptor antagonists&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The objective of our study was to compare the efficiency and safety of 4 mg of nalbuphine vs&#46; 4 mg of ondansetron&#44; for the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus as post-operative analgesic in patients programed for elective surgery&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Material and methods </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> After the approval of the ethics Committee and the research Committee of the School of Medicine at the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">&#8220;Dr&#46; Jos&#233; Eleuterio Gonz&#225;lez&#8221;</span> University Hospital of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Universidad Aut&#243;noma de Nuevo Le&#243;n</span> &#40;UANL&#44; by its Spanish acronym&#41;&#44; we conducted a study from September 2012 to August 2013&#44; a controlled&#44; prospective&#44; comparative and randomized clinical trial with 28 patients programed for surgery under neuraxial anesthesia and receiving epidural or subarachnoid morphine analgesia&#46; Patients who agreed to participate in the trial had to sign an informed consent and meet the following criteria&#58; ASA I and II patients&#44; undergoing surgery with neuraxial anesthesia and presenting pruritus seconda- ry to the administration of epidural or subarachnoid morphine&#44; either male and female between 18 and 50 years old&#44; a signed consent form&#44; neurologically intact and able to assess pain using the visual analogue scale &#40;EVA&#41;&#46; We excluded those patients with neurological alterations of the state of consciousness&#44; patients with a history of allergy to nalbuphine and ondansetron and local anesthetics&#44; patients under 18 and older than 50 years of age&#44; patients who did not accept this type of administration of analgesia and patients with a dermatological condition&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> All patients were administered intravenous 10 mg of metoclopramide and 50 mg of ranitidine intravenously as pre-anesthetic medications&#46; We monitored all patients with a continuous electrocardiogram&#44; pulse oximetry and noninvasive blood pressure every 5 minutes during the whole procedure&#59; they received oxygen at 5 L per minute through a face mask&#46;

compared to 2&#37;-10&#37; of the patients treated systematically&#46; Thus&#44; its incidence depends on the route of administration&#46; This symptom is common in postpartum women&#46; The most affected areas are those innervated by the trigeminal&#44; probably due to their higher number of opiate receptors in the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve&#44; causing patients to scratch their nose and the upper part of the face&#46; There are several chemical mediators responsible for pruritus &#40;histamine&#44; serotonin&#44; cytokines&#44; growth factors&#44; prostaglandins&#44; etc&#46;&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1-3&#44;5-7</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> There is evidence that opioids and the serotonergic system interact closely in the central nervous system&#46; One example is ondansetron&#44; a 5-HT3 antagonist with an anti-pruritic effect&#46; In 1995 Fan reported that morphine can activate serotonin type-3 receptors in the spinal cord dorsal horn and bone marrow and that could possibly be the mechanism causing pruritus&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1-3&#44;9&#44;10&#44;12&#44;13</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Since 1999 there have been studies comparing ondansetron&#8217;s effectiveness in the treatment of epidural morphine-induced pruritus&#44; where its effectiveness has been demonstrated&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;12-15</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> In our study&#44; pruritus occurred more frequently between 2 and 4 hours in both groups&#46; These results are consistent with those reported in medical literature&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span> Pruritus caused by opioids can be extremely difficult to manage and approximately 10&#37;-15&#37; of the patients showed no response to naloxone&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> In our study&#44; pruritus was effectively treated in both groups and did not require the use of rescue medications&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> We did not observe changes in the level of pain in the O group&#59; however&#44; there was an increment in the EVA scale at 6 and 12 hours in the N group&#44; probably because of its agonist-antagonist effect of the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">mu</span>&#44; <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">kappa</span> and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">delta</span> receptors&#46; Nevertheless&#44; both groups had an EVA score lower than 3&#46; We did not find differences in sedation levels in any of the groups during the period of study&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> The presence of nausea and vomiting is common after the administration of opioids&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span> Nausea occurs within the first 4 hours subsequent to the administration and vomiting occurs right after this&#46; High dosages of opioids can cause arteriolar and venous dilatation&#44; a decrease in peripheral vascular resistance and baroreceptors reflex inhibition&#44; which can cause postural hypotension&#46; Opioids cause dose-dependent bradycardia&#44; probably because of sympatholytic and parasympatholytic mechanisms&#46; There were no statistically significant hemodynamic changes during the entire trial&#46; Even though opioids cause dose-dependent respiratory depression&#44; there were no alterations in respiratory frequency in the patients with nalbuphine&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> This study shows that nalbuphine was well-tolerated&#44; only displaying changes in the level of analgesia &#40;EVA 3&#41;&#44; which did not require rescue medication&#44; unlike ondansetron&#44; which did not display changes in analgesia levels and no side effects were reported&#46; However&#44; both medications proved to be safe and efficient for the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conclusions </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> When comparing the efficacy and safety of 4 mg of ondansetron vs&#46; 4 mg of nalbuphine for the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus&#44; the only significant difference found was the mean EVA at 6 and 12 hours&#44; favoring the ondansetron group&#46; However&#44; both groups had an EVA of less than 3&#46; Based on the obtained results we reject the null hypothesis&#44; which states that the administration of intravenous ondansetron at 4 mg is not as effective as the administration of nalbuphine at 4 mg in the treatment of neuraxial morphine-induced pruritus&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"> Therefore&#44;
