Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Cognitive test results

    The results of cognitive test performed during inhalation of defined concentration of nitrous oxide. Cognitive tests: Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST).

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Reaction Time

    The results of reaction time test performed during inhalation of defined concentration of nitrous oxide. Reaction Time (in seconds) using a computer-based test.

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year
