Study Summary

The purpose of this study was to follow a person's response to experimental pain after multiple consecutive exposures to alfentanil or diphenhydramine to see if the person can tolerate the pain more, less, or the same at the end of the study.

They then continue to hold the hand in the water bath until they can no longer tolerate the pain (pain tolerance) or until the end of the testing (truncated at 300 seconds for safety purposes). Reported as the mean (time to hand removal in seconds) at the 30 minute time point.
