Study Summary

The purpose of this research study is to test whether or not researchers can alter or change expectations on pain. The researchers will test whether there is an effect on the size of the pupil and responses to thermal heat temperatures in subjects with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip or healthy subjects for comparison. One of 3 possible treatment groups will be administered to qualifying subjects: (1) gabapentin, a medication that is commonly used to treat nerve pain, (2) modafinil, a medication that is commonly used to treat people with narcolepsy (a disorder that causes people to fall asleep) and (3) a placebo, which is an inactive substance, like a sugar pill, that is not thought to have any effect on your disease or condition

Primary Outcome

Resting pupil diameter will be measured using an infrared camera to obtain baseline measurements 2 hours after dosing subject pupil diameter measurements will be repeated
