NCT01577407

Brief Summary

The purpose of this protocol is to test the effects of the non opioid nefopam on experimental dyspnea and on the counterirritation (ie inhibition of one pain by another pain) induced by dyspnea in healthy subjects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • variation of N2-P2 (components of laser evoked potential - tool of pain measurement)amplitude with inspiratory loading induced by intervention

    LEP will be recorded before intervention at baseline and after intervention at baseline, during inspiratory loading and recovery. The outcome is the variation of N2-P2 amplitude with inspiratory loading induced by intervention

    Change from baseline to 1 hour and half from intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • variation of subject rating of breathing discomfort (dyspnea)

    Change from baseline to 1 hour and half from intervention

  • variation of N20-P25 amplitude (components of somesthesic evoked potential (SEP) -measurement of sensitivity)

    Change from baseline to 1 hour and half from intervention

Study Arms (2)

Nefopam

EXPERIMENTAL
Drug: Nefopam

placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR
Drug: Nefopam

Interventions

Subjects will be infused intravenously with nefopam (20mg/2mL) over a course of 30 minutes in a supine position. There will be a single administration of IV 20 mg nefopam and IV placebo. Each intervention will occur on a separate day.
