Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effects of Buprenorphine on Responses to Verbal Tasks (NCT NCT01860287)

NCT ID: NCT01860287

Last Updated: 2019-08-01

Results Overview

The Drug Effects Questionnaire (DEQ) is a visual analog scale questionnaire that assesses the extent to which subjects experience four subjective states: "Feel Drug", "Feel High", and "Want More". The "Feel Drug", "Feel High", "Like Drug", and "Want More" subscales are reported. All subscales are scored on a visual analogue scale (scroll bar on computer screen) ranging from 0 -100. 100 represents the highest score for that subjective state, and the higher the score, the worse the outcome.
