| OTC | NCT01691690 | Analgesic Effect of IV Acetaminophen in Tonsillectomies | Active, not recruiting | Nationwide Children's Hospital | Phase 2 | 2012-10-01 | Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is a first-line antipyretic and analgesic for mild and moderate pain for pediatric patients. Its common use (particularly in oral form) is underscored by its wide therapeutic window, safety profile, over the counter accessibility, lack of adverse systemic effects (as compared with NSAIDS and opioids) when given in appropriate doses. Although the exact anti-nociceptive mechanisms of acetaminophen continue to be elucidated, these mechanisms appear to be multi-factorial and include central inhibition of the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme leading to decreased production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, interference with serotonergic descending pain pathways, indirect activation of cannabinoid CB1 receptors and inhibition of nitric oxide pathways through N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) or substance P. Of the above mechanisms, the most commonly known is that of central inhibition of COX enzymes by which the decreased production of prostaglandins diminish the release of excitatory transmitters of substance P and glutamate which are both involved in nociceptive transmission (Anderson, 2008; Smith, 2011). To date, several studies have shown acetaminophen's opioid sparing effect in the pediatric population when given by the rectal or intravenous routes (Korpela et al, 1999; Dashti et al, 2009; Hong et al, 2010). |

| NCT00000251 | Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide - 3 | Completed | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) | Phase 2 | 1994-04-01 | The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To evaluate the acute and residual effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane/nitrous oxide combinations in healthy volunteers. |
| NCT00000251 | Effects of Subanesthetic Concentrations of Isoflurane/Nitrous Oxide - 3 | Completed | University of Chicago | Phase 2 | 1994-04-01 | The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To evaluate the acute and residual effects of subanesthetic concentrations of isoflurane/nitrous oxide combinations in healthy volunteers. |
| NCT00000254 | Isoflurane at Subanesthetic Concentrations - 6 | Completed | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) | Phase 2 | 1995-01-01 | The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To test the hypothesis that isoflurane at subanesthetic concentrations does not reduce cold-water immersion pain in healthy volunteers. |

Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. To test the hypothesis that isoflurane at subanesthetic concentrations does not reduce cold-water immersion pain in healthy volunteers. |
| NCT00000259 | Sevoflurane vs Nitrous Oxide Inhalation at Subanesthetic Concentrations - 11 | Completed | National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) | N/A | 1996-08-01 | The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. Comparisons between nitrous oxide, opiates, and benzodiazepine antagonists will be made. To examine sevoflurane versus isoflurane inhalation at subanesthetic concentrations on mood, pain, and psychomotor performance. |
