Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Intrathecal morphine gives intense postoperative pain relief but is known to cause adverse effects like pruritus and respiratory depression. respiratory depression is uncommon at low doses but incidence of pruritus is 30-100%. Exact mechanism of intrathecal morphine induced pruritus is not known and many therapies are tried with limited success. Spinal kappa receptors can supress itch and hence drugs acting on them like nalbuphine can be effective.Previous studies have proved efficacy of intavenous nalbuphine over other agents in treating opioid induced pruritus without affecting analgesia and sedation. However studies proving efficacy of intrathecal nalbuphine for morphine induced pruritus are not available.
