Reinforcing Effects of Brief Exposures to Nitrous Oxide - 8

May 26, 2015 updated by: University of Chicago

Reinforcing Effects of Brief Exposures to Nitrous Oxide

The purpose of this study is to conduct experiments to examine subjective and reinforcing effects of nitrous oxide. Mood altering and psychomotor effects will be tested on non-drug abusers and preference procedures will be used to assess reinforcing effects. Comparisons between nitrous oxide, opiates, and benzodiazepine antagonists will be made. To examine reinforcing effects of brief exposures to nitrous oxide in healthy volunteers.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Choice of nitrous oxide vs placebo
Time Frame: After 1.5 min of inhalation each of nitrous oxide then placebo
Subjects underwent 4 sessions consisting of 2 sample tests (inhaling placebo and inhaling varying doses of N2O), then choosing which inhalant they wanted for a choice test. The subject & the technician administering the inhalant were blinded. During each intervention and each session, subjects underwent psychomotor testing.
After 1.5 min of inhalation each of nitrous oxide then placebo
