Study on drug liking of fentanyl during procedures
This study measures how much people enjoy the feeling of the pain medicine fentanyl when it's given during a routine medical procedure. The goal is to understand if a different drug can reduce the pleasant effects of opioids, which may help lower the risk of addiction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery or procedure where you'll receive the pain medicine fentanyl.
- Your overall health is good, or you have a mild condition like well-controlled high blood pressure or diabetes (ASA class I, II, or III).
- No problems with your heart rhythm, such as an irregular heartbeat or long QT syndrome.
- You haven't used opioid pain medicines recently and don't have a history of opioid misuse in the last 3 years.
- You are not taking certain medicines (like lithium, clozapine, or benzodiazepines) or have certain medical conditions (like Parkinson's disease or psychosis).

This study looks at how much patients like the feeling of a drug given during a procedure. It may help doctors understand which medicines work best for comfort during surgery.
This study looks at how fentanyl affects brain waves (EEG) and whether those brain changes are linked to how much a person likes the drug. If you are having surgery with fentanyl, you may be able to join.
This study is testing a program called BSAFE that teaches people who use stimulants like cocaine or methamphetamine how to stay safer around fentanyl. It aims to prevent accidental fentanyl exposure and its harms.
This study tests a new drug, CS-1103, to see if it can safely help reverse the effects of fentanyl (a strong opioid) even after a naloxone block. Healthy volunteers who have used opioids before will be given fentanyl and then the study drug, while researchers monitor safety and how the drug works.
This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
This trial tests a nebulized (inhaled mist) form of fentanyl in healthy volunteers to see how it works in the body. It is a first-in-human study of the drug given through a nebulizer, which might help people with acute pain in the future.
