反復投与された THC カンナビスが人間の実験的な痛みと虐待の責任に与える影響
Chronic pain is a significant public health concern in the U.S., for which prescription opioids have historically been the standard treatment. This has resulted in striking rates of opioid use disorders and fatal overdoses. Identifying non-opioid medications for the management of chronic pain with minimal abuse liability is a public health necessity, and cannabinoids are a promising drug class for this purpose. More than 80% of medicinal cannabis users report pain as their primary medical indication, and they report experiencing minimal psychoactive effects. However, there are few well-controlled human laboratory studies assessing cannabis' efficacy for pain in the context of abuse, and even less is known regarding the effects of daily repeated use of cannabis on pain and its relationship to abuse liability. Carefully controlled research is needed.
The proposed within-subjects, placebo-controlled 16-day crossover inpatient human laboratory study (N = 20 healthy cannabis users; 10 men, 10 women) will address three important gaps in our understanding of the potential therapeutic utility of cannabis for pain: 1) Does tolerance develop to repeated, daily smoked cannabis administration on measures of experimental pain and abuse liability; 2) If so, is tolerance reversed during the 7 days of abstinence from active-THC cannabis; 3) Does abrupt abstinence from active cannabis increase experimental pain sensitivity, i.e. hyperalgesia, relative to baseline, and do these effects parallel measures of cannabis withdrawal such as disrupted mood and sleep?
Two distinct modalities of experimental pain will be assessed: The Cold Pressor Test (CPT) and Quantitative Sensory Testing Thermal Temporal Summation (QST-TTS). Throughout the study, experimental pain and abuse-related effects will be assessed, as will sleep and subjective mood assessments.

実験的：Dose A: Standardization Phase
On the first full inpatient day (Day 1), participants smoke one specified strength (Dose A; 75% of two 6.58% cannabis cigarettes) of cannabis at three timepoints. |
6.58% THC + <0.01% CBD cannabis (in one cigarette) |
|
プラセボコンパレーター：Dose B: Placebo Phase
On Days 2-8, participants smoke a second strength (Dose B; 75% of two < 0.01%THC:CBD cannabis cigarettes) of cannabis will be administered 3x/day. |
<0.01% THC:CBD cannabis. |
|
実験的：Dose A: Active Phase
On Days 9-15, cannabis Dose A will be administered again (75% of two 6.58% cannabis cigarettes) at three timepoints each day. |
6.58% THC + <0.01% CBD cannabis (in one cigarette) |

Change in Cold Pressor Test (CPT) latency
時間枠：Up to 15 days
|
The CPT apparatus consists of two refrigerated circulators, filled with warm (36.5-37.5°C). participants will complete the CPT 30 minutes before the 1000h cannabis administration (baseline), and 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes post-cannabis administration. and cold (3.5 - 4.5°C) water. Participants will insert their non-dominant hand into the warm water and remove it after 3 minutes; skin temperature of the thumb pad will be measured. Participants will then insert their hand in the cold water and will be instructed to report when they first experience pain (pain threshold) and remove their hand when the cold water can no longer be tolerated (pain tolerance). Maximum immersion time will be 3 minutes. Repeats on days 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, and 15. |

Change in Quantitative Sensory Testing-Thermal Temporal Summation (QST-TTS) ratings
時間枠：Up to 15 days
|
The QST-TTS apparatus is a thermal testing analyzer with a 30 x 30 mm Peltier thermode, which will use repetitive nociceptive heat stimulation of a fixed frequency and intensity. At the beginning of the procedure, a research assistant (same gender as the participant) will read a script describing the procedure to the participant. Tonic noxious heat stimulation will be applied to the palm using a ramp-and-hold method, in which the baseline temperature will be set at 32.0°C, and will increase at a rate of 1°C/s up to 46.5°C, remaining constant for 120 sec. During the total duration of stimulation (135 seconds), participants will continuously rate the magnitude of perceived pain using a visual analog scale. participants will complete the CPT 30 minutes before the 1000h cannabis administration (baseline), and 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes post-cannabis administration. Repeats on days 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, and 15. |

Change in Cannabis Rating Form (CRF) ratings
時間枠：Up to 15 days

Participants rate the strength, liking, desire to take again, good drug effect and bad. 7x on each of drug effect of cannabis on a 100mm visual analog scale. Repeats on days 1, 2, 5, 8, 9, 12, and 15. |
