Inclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Age 18-65 years, and willing to provide informed consent."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Good health as determined by medical history, ECG, and clinical assessment of lab tests. Lab tests will include potassium, creatinine, hemoglobin, glucose, calcium, BUN, complete blood count, total bilirubin, AST, ALT, and GGT. The final decision will be according to the judgment of the lead physician."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Proficiency in Swedish"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Females must have a negative urine pregnancy test (hCG) at inclusion and at the start of each study session. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active and have not been surgically sterilized must agree to use an adequate method of birth control during the study."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Participant must be willing to receive two IV lines and undergo an MR scan"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Right-handedness assessed by the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory (EHI)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Prior experience with medical opioids (at least one experience with opiates such as oxycodone, morphine, hydrocodone, codeine, or dihydrocodeine)."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Any clinically significant medical condition, including CNS, cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, endocrine, or reproductive disorders."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Any current clinically significant psychiatric problems including a diagnosis of substance dependence other than nicotine (defined in DSM-5 terms as Substance Use Disorder, Moderate or Severe). Patients will be screened using the Modified Mini Screen (MMS), the Drug Use Disorder Identification Test (DUDIT), a urine drug screening, and the Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test (AUDIT). The results and their clinical significance will ultimately be evaluated by a trained healthcare professional (psychiatrically trained nurse or physician).
