This study presents the clinical case of a patient with paraparesis, subjected for a long period of time to treatment with intrathecal baclofen and morphine to control spasticity and neuropathic pain, resulting from spinal cord injury due to road trauma.

Starting with high levels of intrathecal morphine, the patient was referred first to weaning from morphine to a gradual titration of ziconotide doses of up to 7.4 mcg/die associated with 680 mcg/die of baclofen.
