The subjective, psychomotor, and physiological effects of analgesic doses of oral codeine and morphine were examined in 12
healthy volunteers. Subjects ingested placebo, morphine 20 or 40 mg, or codeine 60 or 120 mg in a randomized, double-blind,
crossover design. The smaller and larger doses of each drug were putatively equianalgesic, and the cold-pressor test was included
to test this assumption. Codeine and morphine increased ratings of “feel drug effect” but had little effect on other subjective
measures, including the Addiction Research Center Inventory, visual analog scales, and adjective checklists. The few subjective
effects that were observed were modest and were dose-related for morphine but not for codeine. The drugs did not affect performance
on Maddox-Wing, digit-symbol substitution, coordination, auditory reaction, reasoning, and memory tests. Dose-related decreases
in pupil size (miosis) were observed following codeine and morphine. Ratings of pain intensity decreased in a dose-related
manner for morphine but not for codeine. Plasma codeine and morphine levels varied as an orderly function of dose. These results
suggest that oral codeine and morphine are appropriate drugs for outpatient pain relief because they are effective analgesics
at doses that have only modest effects on mood, produce few side effects, and do not impair performance. The results also
suggest a possible ceiling effect of codeine on analgesia and subjective effects.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the effect of a painful stimulus on morphine and butorphanol effects in healthy
non-drug abusing volunteers. Thirteen subjects with no history of opiate dependence participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled,
double-blind, crossover trial in which each subject received saline, 2 mg/70 kg butorphanol, and 10 mg/70 kg morphine, IV,
in each of two conditions, periodic forearm immersions into either ice-cold water (2°C) or into warm water (37°C). Both opioids
reduced self-reported ratings of pain intensity, indicative of analgesia. Several of the subjective effects of morphine were
attenuated either during or in between cold-water immersions, including visual analog scale ratings of “coasting (spaced out),”“high
(drug “high”),”“sleepy (drowsy, tired),” and “lightheaded”. In contrast, some of butorphanol’s subjective effects were increased
by the cold-water manipulation. Morphine impaired psychomotor performance during one of the warm-water immersions, but not
during the cold-water immersions. Psychomotor impairment induced by butorphanol was not affected by water temperature. This
study provides evidence that opioid effects can be modulated by a painful stimulus in humans.

Carisoprodol is a centrally acting drug used to relieve skeletal muscle spasms and associated pain in acute musculoskeletal conditions. There is evidence from different sources that this oral muscle relaxant is abused and that it is associated with impairment leading to arrests for “driving under the influence” as well as increased risk of automobile accidents. Its subjective and psychomotor effects in healthy volunteers at therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses have not been well-characterized, and form the basis of this report. Fifteen healthy volunteers (8 males, 7 females) were administered 0, 350, and 700 mg of carisoprodol in separate sessions and for 6 h afterwards they completed a battery of tests at fixed time intervals so as to assess the subjective and psychomotor effects of the drug. The supratherapeutic dose, 700 mg, increased visual analog scale ratings of terms that were more reflective of sedation (e.g., “sleepy,” “heavy, sluggish feeling”) than those of abuse liability, and produced impaired performance on several psychomotor tests. The therapeutic dose, 350 mg, while producing few and mild subjective effects, still produced psychomotor impairment. The fact that the therapeutic dose of carisoprodol produced minimal subjective effects while adversely affecting performance is of concern in that patients prescribed this drug may feel relatively normal and engage in tasks (driving) that could put themselves and others at risk. 相似文献

RATIONALE: Conducting complete dose-response evaluations of multiple drugs in a single within-subjects experiment is very time-consuming when a complete session is required for evaluation of each dose. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate a within-session cumulative-dosing procedure as a potentially efficient method for conducting dose-response evaluations of mixed-action opioids. METHODS: Fifteen healthy volunteers received intravenous injections of saline, butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine, or morphine in a randomized, double-blind, crossover design. Subjects received one injection per hour for the first 4 h, and a 3-h recovery period followed. Saline was injected first, then saline or increasing doses of each drug (except pentazocine, see below) were administered every hour for the next 3 h. The absolute doses per injection were morphine and nalbuphine 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/70 kg, butorphanol 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/70 kg, and pentazocine 7.5, 15, and 0 mg/70 kg. (The highest dose of pentazocine was omitted because of the risk of dysphoria and psychotomimesis). These injections resulted in cumulative doses of morphine or nalbuphine 2.5, 7.5, and 17.5 mg/70 kg, butorphanol 0.5, 1.5, and 3.5 mg/70 kg, and pentazocine 7.5 and 22.5 mg/70 kg. Mood, psychomotor performance, and vital signs were assessed. RESULTS: Effects of all opioids were similar, with some exceptions. Butorphanol had the strongest effects on psychomotor performance and some subjective effects. Morphine was associated with delayed or prolonged side effects. CONCLUSIONS: Orderly dose-response functions and replication of results of single-dosing studies confirmed that the cumulative-dosing procedure is an efficient way of determining dose-response functions for multiple opioids within the same subjects. 相似文献

Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant drug indicated for neuropathic disorders and fibromyalgia. Some chronic pain patients suffering from these disorders take both this drug and an opioid for pain relief. Pregabalin is a scheduled drug under the Controlled Substances Act. The subjective effects of this drug have not been well-characterized, and the extent to which it alters the subjective effects of opioids has not been studied to the best of our knowledge. Using a double-blind, randomized, crossover design, 16 healthy volunteers were administered (in separate sessions) capsules containing placebo, 75 mg pregabalin, 150 mg pregabalin, 10 mg oxycodone, and 75 mg pregabalin combined with 10 mg oxycodone. Subjective, psychomotor, and physiological measures were assessed during each of the five sessions. Pregabalin produced dose-related increases in some subjective effects and decreased respiration rate, but did not impact on psychomotor performance. Abuse liability-related subjective effects such as drug liking and desire to take the drug again were not increased by either pregabalin dose. Oxycodone produced increases in several subjective effects, including ratings of drug liking. When 75 mg pregabalin was combined with oxycodone some subjective effects were altered relative to placebo, in contrast to when each drug was tested alone. Liking of oxycodone was not increased by 75 mg pregabalin. However, recent studies have suggested that this drug is abused, and we would recommend that further psychopharmacological studies with pregabalin are warranted, including a study assessing its abuse liability across a range of doses in sedative abusers. 相似文献

RATIONALE: It is commonly accepted that the relative abuse liability of drugs is positively related to the rate of delivery to the central nervous system; however, few controlled studies have tested this hypothesis in humans. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to evaluate systematically the effects of modifying intravenous infusion speed on the pharmacodynamic responses related to abuse liability and toxicity of intravenous cocaine and hydromorphone. METHODS: Twelve experienced opiate and cocaine users completed this 3-week inpatient study. After completing a safety session, participants were tested on 9 separate test days with intravenous cocaine (30 mg/70 kg), hydromorphone (3 mg/70 kg), and placebo, each administered under double-blind and randomized conditions at infusion rates of 2, 15, and 60 s. Dependent outcome measures included a range of physiological, subjective, and observer-rated measures, and continuous electrocardiographic monitoring was conducted for safety monitoring. RESULTS: Subjective responses to cocaine (for example, "high," "liking") were significantly greater when cocaine was infused more rapidly. Physiological responses to cocaine were largely unaltered with no evidence of increased toxicity with faster infusion speeds. None of the effects of hydromorphone were altered by varying the speed of infusion. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides empirical evidence for the commonly accepted belief that the abuse liability of cocaine can be enhanced by increasing the rate of the intravenous infusion; this principal may not hold true for opioids but further work would be required to rule this out. The data also indicate that moderate doses of cocaine can be administered over a range of infusion speeds commonly used in experimental settings without appreciably altering the apparent medical risks. 相似文献

Objective: This study investigated the possible effects of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) on human psychomotor performance and subjective
feelings important for the safety of skilled performance.
Methods: Twelve healthy volunteers, six males and six females, aged 22–36 years, participated as subjects. Drugs and placebo were
administered according to a single-dose, double-blind, balanced, four-way, cross-over design. Treatments were separated by
a wash-out period of 1 week and consisted of placebo, lorazepam 0.03 mg · kg−1, GHB 12.5 mg · kg−1 and GHB 25 mg · kg−1. Subjects' psychomotor performance was assessed at baseline and at 15, 60, 120 and 180 min after treatment. Mood was assessed
using 16 visual analogue scales, before treatment and 120 min later. Psychomotor performance was measured using the following
tests: Critical Flicker Fusion. Response Competition Test, Critical Tracking Task, Choice Reaction Time and Visual Vigilance
Task.
Results: GHB at both doses had no effects on attention, vigilance, alertness, short-term memory or psychomotor co-ordination (Δ-placebo,
P > 0.05); calmness increased with the lower dose and contentedness decreased significantly at both doses (Δ-baseline, P < 0.05); adverse effects were limited to slight subjective feelings of dizziness and dullness, which disappeared 30–60 min
after administration of the dose. Lorazepam caused impairment of psychometric functions.
Conclusion: After single therapeutic doses, GHB does not induce changes in psychomotor performance and therefore the drug does not influence
the ability to drive or work. However, repeated reports of the abuse potential of GHB and its usefulness in treating ethyl
alcohol addiction indicate that it may play an “agonist-like” role, which means that it should only used under close medical
supervision.

Sensation-seeking is a personality trait that is linked to use and abuse of drugs. Laboratory studies have established that high sensation seekers, as measured by different instruments, are more likely to report abuse liability-related subjective effects from drugs such as nicotine, alcohol, and d-amphetamine than low sensation seekers. One class of drugs that has not been studied to date in this fashion is opioids. Accordingly, a retrospective analysis encompassing five studies that examined oxycodone effects, including its abuse liability-related effects, was conducted in subjects categorized as high or low sensation seekers. In addition, because there appear to be sex differences in how males and females respond to opioids, this factor was taken into account in the analysis. Seventy one subjects who scored on the lower end (15 and 19 low sensation-seeking males and females, respectively) or the higher end (23 and 14 high sensation-seeking males and females) of the Disinhibition subscale of the Sensation-Seeking Scale-Form V were studied for their responses to 0, 10, and 20 mg of oral oxycodone. Ratings of “pleasant bodily sensations” were significantly higher after oxycodone administration than placebo only in male and female high sensation seekers. Ratings of “take again,” “drug liking,” “carefree,” and “elated (very happy)” also tended to differentiate high from low sensation seekers although Group × Dose interactions were only marginally significant with the latter three ratings. Male and female low sensation seekers and female high sensation seekers reported dysphoric effects (e.g., ratings of nauseated) particularly after administration of the 20 mg oxycodone dose. The results of this analysis provide suggestive evidence that high sensation seekers are more likely to experience greater positive subjective effects from oxycodone than low sensation seekers, but likelihood of experiencing negative effects is more complex (involving both sensation-seeking status and sex). 相似文献

Cognitive, psychomotor, and subjective effects of sodium oxybate and triazolam in healthy volunteers
Rationale Illicit gamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) has received attention as a “date rape drug” that produces robust amnesia; however, there
is little experimental evidence in support of GHB’s amnestic effects.
Objectives This study compared the cognitive effects of GHB (sodium oxybate) with those of triazolam in healthy volunteers.
Materials and methods Doses of sodium oxybate (1.125, 2.25, and 4.5 g/70 kg), triazolam (0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/70 kg), and placebo were administered
to 15 volunteers under repeated measures, counterbalanced, double-blind, double-dummy conditions. The time course and peak
physiological, psychomotor, subjective, and cognitive effects were examined.
Results Sodium oxybate and triazolam produced similar increases in participant ratings of drug effects. Performance on psychomotor,
working memory, and episodic memory tasks was impaired to a greater extent after triazolam than sodium oxybate.
Conclusions Together, these data suggest that sodium oxybate produces less psychomotor and cognitive impairment than triazolam at doses
that produce equivalent participant-rated subjective effects in healthy volunteers. 相似文献

Summary Cognitive and psychomotor impairments can be unwanted adverse effects of antiepileptic drugs. The present double-blind, coross-over
study with healthy volunteers was designed to assess the effects of two doses of oxcarbazepine (OXCZ) (150 mg b.i.d.; 300
mg b.i.d.) and a placebo, each given over a two week period. Twelve subjects completed a battery of tests before and 4 h after
morning doses on days 1,8 and 15.
Results of objective tests indicated that OXCZ improved performance on a focussed attention task and increased manual writing
speed. Subjective ratings showed OXCZ increased feelings of altertness, clear-headedness and quickwittedness. OXCZ had no
effect on the range of long-term memory processes assessed in this study. It is concluded that at the doses employed, OXCZ
has a slightly stimulant effect on some aspects of psychomotor functioning. 相似文献

Tramadol is an atypical, mixed mechanism analgesic used to treat moderate to severe pain. Based on evidence that tramadol has relatively low abuse potential and can relieve opioid withdrawal, tramadol may be useful for treating opioid dependence. The purpose of this study was to assess the performance side-effect profile of tramadol. Nine opioid-dependent volunteers completed a performance battery following 5-7 days of subcutaneous morphine (15 mg, 4 times/day) and two doses of oral tramadol (50, 200 mg, 4 times/day) in a within subject cross-over design. Morphine was always the first condition, and the order of the two tramadol doses was randomized and double blind. Performance was significantly worse in the morphine condition relative to one or both tramadol doses on measures of psychomotor speed/coordination (circular lights task), psychomotor speed/pattern recognition (DSST speed measure) and psychomotor speed/set shifting (trail-making tasks). There were no significant differences among conditions in DSST accuracy, simple reaction time, divided attention, working memory, episodic memory, metamemory, or time estimation. Neither tramadol dose was associated with worse performance than morphine on any measure. Although practice sessions were conducted prior to the first session to reduce order effects, the possibility that residual practice effects contributed to the differences between tramadol and morphine cannot be ruled out. The high tramadol dose produced worse performance than the low dose only on the balance measure. These findings suggest that tramadol is generally a safe medication with respect to cognitive and psychomotor measures and support tramadol's further evaluation as an opioid-dependence treatment. 相似文献

Fentanyl is a mu opiate agonist which is occasionally abused by medical personnel who have ready access to the drug. We examined in healthy volunteers (N=13) the subjective and psychomotor-impairing effects of intravenous fentanyl (0–100 µg/70 kg). A randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design was used in which subjects were injected with 0, 25 (N=6), 50 and 100 µg/70 kg fentanyl in a double-blind fashion. Subjects completed several questionnaires commonly used in abuse liability testing studies before drug injection and at periodic intervals for up to 3 h after drug injection. Subjects also completed several psychomotor tests at these times. Some aspects of psychomotor functioning (e.g., eye-hand coordination) were impaired by fentanyl. Fentanyl produced dose-related increases in ratings of high and sedated, but also tended to produce dysphoria and somatic symptomatology. Most subjects reported liking the effects of the two higher doses of fentanyl for at least a brief time after injection, but they varied widely in their liking ratings across the 3-h post-drug injection period. Despite the transient increases in liking ratings, fentanyl did not increase scores on a widely-used measure of drug-induced euphoria (morphine-benzedrine group scale of the Addiction Research Center Inventory). The present results suggest that some medical personnel who experiment with fentanyl may like it, and thus be at increased risk for abusing the drug in the future. 相似文献

The subjective,behavioral and cognitive effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane and nitrous oxide in healthy volunteers 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
James P. Zacny Gina Sparacino Patricia M. Hoffmann Robert Martin J. Lance Lichtor 《Psychopharmacology》1994,114(3):409-416
A prospective, crossover, double-blind trial was conducted in nine healthy volunteers in which the subjective, psychomotor and memory effects of isoflurane (0.0, 0.3 and 0.6%) and nitrous oxide (N2O) (0, 20 and 40%) were examined. Dependent measures included visual analog scales and a standardized drug effects inventory (subjective effects), reaction time and eye-hand coordination (e.g., psychomotor performance), and immediate and delayed free recall (memory). There were some similarities in subjective effects between the two inhaled drugs (e.g., increased ratings of drunk and spaced out), but isoflurane had effects which N2O did not have. Isoflurane but not N2O increased visual analog scale ratings of confused, sedated, and carefree, and decreased ratings of in control of thoughts and in control of body. An odor was detected with isoflurane and it was disliked. Psychomotor performance was more grossly impaired during isoflurane inhalation than during N2O inhalation. Psychomotor recovery from both agents was rapid and complete so that 5 min after the inhalation period had ceased, performance had returned to baseline levels. Both isoflurane and nitrous oxide impaired immediate and delayed free recall. The feasibility of using isoflurane in conscious sedation procedures is discussed. 相似文献

Assessing subjective and psychomotor effects of the herbal medication valerian in healthy volunteers
Gutierrez S Ang-Lee MK Walker DJ Zacny JP 《Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior》2004,78(1):57-64
Valerian is the common name given to the genus Valeriana, an odiferous, herbaceous perennial plant widely distributed in the temperate regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. It is among the most widely used herbal medicines in the world. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated valerian's ability to improve sleep; however, to the best of our knowledge, no study has systematically assessed subjective and psychomotor/cognitive effects of valerian in young healthy adults across a range of doses. In the present study, we sought to determine whether valerian extract (Valeriana officinalis) altered mood and/or impaired psychomotor/cognitive performance in young healthy volunteers. We examined the effects of valerian extract (600, 1200, and 1800 mg) and 10 mg diazepam (positive control) compared to placebo in 10 young healthy volunteers. Dependent measures included subjective and psychomotor variables. The valerian extract had no significant effects on any of the dependent measures. Diazepam, though, produced subjective effects as measured by four different rating scales, and impaired psychomotor/cognitive performance. The data suggest that acute administration of valerian does not have mood-altering or psychomotor/cognitive effects in young healthy volunteers. 相似文献

Subjective effects and tolerability of the South American psychoactive beverage Ayahuasca in healthy volunteers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Riba J Rodríguez-Fornells A Urbano G Morte A Antonijoan R Montero M Callaway JC Barbanoj MJ 《Psychopharmacology》2001,154(1):85-95
RATIONALE: Ayahuasca is a South American psychoactive beverage that contains the naturally occurring psychedelic agent N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). This "tea" has been used for centuries in religious and medicinal contexts in the rain forest areas of South America and is presently gaining the attention of psychedelic users in North America and Europe. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, the psychological effects and tolerability of ayvahuasca were assessed. METHODS: Three increasing doses of encapsulated freeze-dried ayahuasca (0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mg DMT/kg body weight) were administered to six healthy male volunteers with prior experience in the use of this tea, in a single-blind crossover placebo-controlled clinical trial. RESULTS: Ayahuasca produced significant dose-dependent increases in five of the six subscales of the Hallucinogen Rating Scale, in the LSD, MBG, and A scales of the Addiction Research Center Inventory, and in the "liking", "good effects" and "high" visual analogue scales. Psychological effects were first noted after 30-60 min, peaked between 60-120 min, and were resolved by 240 min. The tea was well tolerated from a cardiovascular point of view, with a trend toward increase for systolic blood pressure. Modified physical sensations and nausea were the most frequently reported somatic-dysphoric effects. The overall experience was regarded as pleasant and satisfactory by five of the six volunteers, while one volunteer experienced an intensely dysphoric reaction with transient disorientation and anxiety at the medium dose and voluntarily withdrew from the study. CONCLUSIONS: Ayahuasca can be described as inducing changes in the perceptual, affective, cognitive, and somatic spheres, with a combination of stimulatory and visual psychoactive effects of longer duration and milder intensity than those previously reported for intravenously administered DMT. 相似文献

The pharmacokinetic properties of hydromorphone in healthy young male subjects were studied after i.v., peroral, and rectal administration. After i.v. administration the following pharmacokinetic parameters were found: elimination half-life 2.36 +/- 0.5 h, hepatic extraction ratio 0.51, apparent volume of distribution 2.9 +/- 1.3 L kg-1 and volume of central compartment 0.23 +/- 0.2 L kg-1. The absolute bioavailability after peroral administration was 50.7 +/- 29.8 per cent, and that after rectal administration was 33 +/- 22 per cent. 相似文献
