title: Temporary sedation with midazolam for control of severe incident pain.
abstract: Incident pain frequently complicates cancer-related pain. Its treatment is sometimes very difficult due to poor responsiveness to opioids. Two cases are presented in which a temporary or intermittent sedation with midazolam was successfully used to control excruciating incident pain.
