Abstract
The analgesic properties of ethyl alcohol administered i.v. were investigated, using elevation of the pain threshold for applied somatic stimuli as an index. Alcohol proved markedly superior to saline in this respect and produced an effect equivalent to that of i.v. morphine.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
