Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two experimental pain models to see if they would be useful for comparing different products for reduction in pain intensity.
The models evaluated were the ultraviolet-B (UVB) burn and intradermal capsaicin experimental pain models. Medications compared were a single dose each, of intravenous (IV) acetaminophen, oral acetaminophen, placebo, and IV morphine.
