Protocol summary

Summary
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of morphine versus morphine/haloperidol on postoperative pain management in opioid addicted patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Design: We selected 101 male opium addicts, aged 20 to 50 years old, undergoing femoral or tibial fracture fixation during the years 2008-2009, with American Society of Anesthesiologist physical state class I and II. Setting and Conduct: In the recovery unit, pain severity was measured with the Categorical Scaling Form, a horizontal line with anchors of 'no pain', 'mild', 'moderate', 'severe' and 'worst possible pain'. Pain scores were calculated by zero for 'no pain', 1 for 'mild', 2 for 'moderate', 3 for 'severe' and 4 for 'worst possible pain'. In the first episode of pain, the forms were completed and the medications were given according to the study groups. Then the forms were completed every half hour till 2 hour in the recovery unit. Patients with next episodes of 'mild' to 'moderate' pain would receive 0.07 mg/kg morphine and those with 'severe' or 'worst possible' pain would receive 0.1mg/kg morphine additionally. Participants: Opium addict male patients between 20 to 50 years old, undergoing fixation of femoral or tibial fractures with American Society of Anesthesiologist physical state class I and II Exclusion criteria: Patients with psychological disorder or using related medications Intervention: Receiving 0.1mg/kg morphine plus either 20 mg Haloperidol or 4cc Normal saline intravenously Main Outcome measures: Pain score, Total morphine consumption.

Other design features
Randomization was done with sequential simple sampling method. Patients with odd and even file numbers were considered as haloperidol and placebo groups, respectively. The study was double-blinded, placebo controlled, randomized trial. The patients, the nurse giving the medications and the researcher filling the forms were all blind to the study groups. The medications were prepared by a staff not involved in the study. Fifty one syringes, labeled "A", were filled with 4 cc haloperidol (20 mg) while Fifty syringes, labeled "B", were filled with 4 cc normal saline. In the first episode of pain in the recovery unit, patients with odd file numbers received syringe "A" and those with even file numbers received syringe "B.
