Endogenous Opioid Response to Injections (NCT06666621)
Antagonism of Endogenous Opioids: Use in Interpretation of Injections
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will study pain relief after spine injections that are used to guide care. Some improvements in pain from a procedure might be from placebo effect rather than the physiological effect of the procedure. The study will use naloxone to reverse the effect of the body's internal placebo system after a spine injection, so the placebo effect and the injection effect can be measured separately. This process may improve the understanding of spine injections and their ability to guide pain care.
