简要总结
We would like to test the effect of opioid medication on pain sensitivity in subjects who have been diagnosed with a sleep disorder called Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) compared to other subjects without OSA. Patients with OSA may have an altered sensitivity to the sedative, analgesic, and respiratory depressant effects of opioids.
详细描述
The purpose of the study is to test the hypothesis that patients who suffer from moderate-to-severe OSA have increased pain thresholds and are more sensitive to the analgesic effects of opioids compared to patients with normal sleep-related breathing physiology. We will evaluate the effect of remifentanil, a short acting mu-opioid receptor agonist, on pain using an experimental heat and cold-induced pain tests, and compare it between volunteers with and without a polysomnography (PSG)-based diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea.

研究组 & 干预措施
Males at risk for OSA
Males at risk for obstructive sleep apnea were invited to have a "sleep study" either at home or at Stanford Sleep Center.
A week after their sleep study (Polysomnography), all volunteers underwent quantitative sensory testing in the laboratory, during which their pain thresholds and tolerances to heat (Heat pain threshold and tolerance) and cold (Cold pain threshold and tolerance) stimuli were assessed, under two different concentrations (1 and 2 mcg/mL, in randomized order) of remifentanil, a short-acting opioid, given as a computer-controlled infusion.
干预措施: Remifentanil (Drug)

结局指标
主要结局
Experimental Cold-induced Pain - IGFBP-1
时间窗: 2 to 3 weeks
The effect of insulin growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), a serum hypoxia marker, on the change of cold-induced pain thresholds under remifentanil was estimated using a mixed linear regression model. The results were expressed by the estimated beta (95% CI), indicating how much the change in the cold pain threshold (expressed in seconds) under remifentanil, was altered per unit of change in the IGFBP-1. For example, for every 1-pg/mL increase in the serum level of IGFBP-1, cold pain threshold will additionally increase by 0.0025 seconds for every 1-mcg/mL increase in the plasma level of remifentanil.
Experimental Heat-induced Pain - IGFBP-1
时间窗: 2 to 3 weeks
The effect of arterial oxyhemoglobin desaturation during sleep (chronic intermittent hypoxia expressed by insulin growth factor binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1), a serum hypoxia marker, on the change of heat-induced pain thresholds under remifentanil was estimated using a mixed linear regression model. The results were expressed by the estimated betas (95% CI), indicating how much the change in the heat pain threshold (expressed in C') under remifentanil, was altered per unit of change in the IGFBP-1. For example, for every 1-pg/mL increase in serum level of IGFBP-1, the heat pain threshold will additionally decrease by 0.0001 'C for every 1-mcg/mL increase in the plasma level of remifentanil.
Experimental Cold-induced Pain - SaO2
时间窗: 2 to 3 weeks
The effect of arterial oxyhemoglobin desaturation during sleep (chronic intermittent hypoxia expressed by nadir SaO2 during polysomnography) on the change of cold-induced pain thresholds under remifentanil was estimated using a mixed linear regression model. The results were expressed by the estimated betas (95% CI), indicating how much the change in the cold pain threshold (expressed in seconds) under remifentanil, was altered per unit of change in the SaO2. For example, for every 1-%-absolute decrease in the nadir SaO2, the cold pain threshold will additionally increase by 0.9694 seconds for every 1-mcg/mL increase in the plasma level of remifentanil.
