Sleep-MOR Trial Summary
This trial is looking at whether sleep disturbance alters the way people respond to pain medication and whether it makes the medication more likely to be abused.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy adults aged 18-48 who sleep well (6.5 to 8.5 hours a night with good quality), don't smoke or use nicotine, and consume little caffeine. They must have had some exposure to opioids in the past but can't be overweight, have sleep disorders, metal implants unsafe for MRI, significant neurological diseases, recent serious medical issues or substance abuse history.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests how different types of sleep disturbances affect the brain's response to various drugs including stimulants, benzodiazepines, opioids, cannabinoids and pain relievers compared to placebo. It looks at drug effects on pain relief and potential for misuse under normal sleep conditions versus disrupted sleep.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects depend on the specific medication given but may include drowsiness or alertness (for sedatives and stimulants respectively), addiction risk (opioids), changes in mood or appetite (cannabinoids) and typical over-the-counter medication risks like stomach upset.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Sleep FragmentationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The Sleep fragmentation condition will be conducted on two consecutive nights. Subjects are provided an 8-hour sleep opportunity during which their sleep will be disturbed by microarousals that simulate sleep apnea.
Group II: Sleep Continuity DisruptionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The Sleep Continuity Disruption condition will be conducted on two consecutive nights. An 8-hour sleep opportunity period will be disturbed by several forced awakenings at random intervals during which no sleep is permitted.
Group III: Undisturbed SleepActive Control2 Interventions
An 8-hour period of undisturbed sleep is permitted on each night.

Answered by AI
Are patients currently being accepted for this trial?
"Yes, the trial is recruiting patients as of now. The clinical trial was posted on November 11th, 2020 and updated on November 14th, 2022. They are looking for 200 participants from 1 site."
Answered by AI
Might I be eligible to join this research project?
"To be eligible for this sleep study, candidates must be between 18-48 years old, have a reported healthy sleep schedule (hs), and meet the following additional requirements: get more than 6.5 but no more than 8.5 hours of sleep per night; have a nightly sleep efficiency of at least 85%; be non-smokers/nicotine users and low caffeine users (2 cups or less per day)."
Answered by AI
How many people are the investigators enrolling in this research project?
"That is accurate. The clinicaltrials.gov website has information indicating that this trial is currently admitting patients. It was originally posted on November 11th, 2020 and most recently updated on November 14th, 2022. Currently, 200 participants are being recruited at 1 location."
Answered by AI
Could you elaborate on the risks of Sleep Continuity Disruption to patients?
"Since this is a phase 2 trial, meaning that while there are some data supporting safety, there are no data supporting efficacy, our team has estimated the safety of Sleep Continuity Disruption to be a 2."
