N2  - Comparative study between morphine and dexmedetomidine for  postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing cancer surgeries.The aim of the  study is to compare the postoperative pain-relieving quality and effect on  stress response of a continuous infusion of dexmedetomidine (low & high  doses) with I.V morphine infusion in patients undergoing cancer surgeries.  In conclusion,morphine has better postoperative analgesia than  dexmedetomidine (low and high dose) during the first 40 hours  postoperatively apart from 16 and 20 hours postoperatively; there is no  difference in analgesia between the two drugs. Dexmedetomidine (low and  high dose) provides analgesia, sedation and alleviates stress response in the  form of lowering blood glucose and serum cortisol. However low  dexmedetomidine is better than high dose dexmedetomidine as it has less  adverse effects. Further and larger studies are needed to assess the optimum  regimen of dexmedetomidine for postoperative analgesia
