Study Summary

Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions) on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.

Primary Outcome

Using a Visual Analog Scale with scoring as 0=not at all, 20=possibly mild, 40=definitely mild, 60=moderately, 80=strongly, and 100=extremely, or any number in between. Testing occurs only in the context of 6 sessions due to a minimum of a one week washout period in between each session.
