Clonidine is frequently used as an adjuvant in spinal anaesthesia to enhance the quality and duration of post-operative analgesia, [1],[2],[3] transdermal nitroglycerine (tNTG) has been found to be useful for enhancing the post-operative analgesic effect of intrathecal (IT) sufentanil [4] and neostigmine [5] by release of nitric oxide (NO). This NO increases the intracellular concentration of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which produces pain modulation in the central and peripheral nervous system. [6],[7] We have carried out this study to evaluate the effect of tNTG on IT clonidine.
