“...opioid and nonopioid analgesics were continuously infused from subcutaneously implanted osmotic mini-pumps, a convenient modality of drug delivery that allows for drug delivery at constant rate for prolonged periods of time without experimenter intervention.” Bruins Slot et al., Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior 2002;72:943-951.
