Post‐operative pain relief following intrathecal injection of acetylcholine esterase inhibitor during lumbar disc surgery: a prospective double blind randomized study

Background:  As spinal cholinergic receptors participate in the control of somatic pain, this effect could be potentiated by intrathecal injection of a cholinesterase inhibitor, neostigmine.
