Ko et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Paroxysmal sympathetic storm after spontaneous pontine hemorrhage (n=1). Morphine was evaluated on Stabilization of fluctuating blood pressure and body temperature. Morphine dramatically stabilized fluctuating blood pressure and body temperature in a patient with paroxysmal sympathetic storm after spontaneous pontine hemorrhage.
