Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to assess the anti-hyperalgesic effect of dextromethorphan in healthy volunteers compared to placebo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a cross-over group, double-blind, randomized clinical trial in healthy volunteers comparing dextromethorphan and inactive control on freeze-induced hyperalgesia, experimental pain, diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC), pupillary reaction and reaction time.

The influence of CYP3A4 and MDR1 polymorphism on the dextromethorphan analgesic efficacy will be measured.

The study design is divided in two study sequences and each subject participates in the two study sequences and receive the two treatments (dextromethorphan and placebo).

Each study sequence consists of 3 assessment days (Day -1, Day 0 = first treatment administration and Day 1).
