The purpose of this study is to assess 3 different scoring systems to evaluate the adhesive quality of placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial\]) JNJ-35685-AAA-G-023-G transdermal (through the skin) systems during a single system 72-hour application, replicated 3 times, of 2 patch sizes (5.5 centimeter\^2 \[cm\^2\] and 44 cm\^2).
This study will assess 3 different scoring systems to evaluate the adhesive quality of "placebo" patch (an inactive patch that contains no active drug), JNJ-35685-AAA-G-023-G transdermal (through the skin) system. In this study, this patch is NOT being compared to a patch with a drug, and is NOT being used to test if the patch with the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial. The study consists 3 parts: Screening (21 days before study commences on Day 1), an adhesion assessment period (4 days), and an end of Study (EOS) assessment (recorded at 24 hours +/- 4 hours following patch removal). Total study duration per participant will be 26 days (including Screening). JNJ-35685-AAA-G-023 small (5.5 cm\^2) and large (44 cm\^2) patches will be applied on to left or right side of the paraspinal region based on randomization schedule. Adhesion assessments will be performed at patch application (hour 0, Baseline), and during the time interval of 8 to 10 hours, 24, 48, and 72 hours following patch application. Adhesion quality will be assessed by visual grading, United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) scale, digital image analysis and visual grading grid system. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Placebo (matched to Fentanyl transdermal delivery device system \[TDDS\]) JNJ-35685-AAA-G-023 TDDS, 5.5 centimeter square (cm\^2) will be applied vertically to 1 side of the paraspinal region, replicated 3 times, and worn for 72 hours.
Placebo (matched to Fentanyl transdermal delivery device system \[TDDS\]) JNJ-35685-AAA-G-023 TDDS, 44 cm\^2 (Size 1; small patch) will be applied vertically to other side of the paraspinal region, replicated 3 times, and worn for 72 hours.

Visual Grading United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Scale Score
Visual grading US FDA scale will be used to evaluate adhesion performance of the transdermal system. The score ranges from 0-4: 0 = greater than or equal to (\>=) 90 percent (%) adhered (essentially no lift off the skin); 1 = greater than or equal to 75% to less than (\<) 90% adhered (some edges only lifting off the skin); 2 = greater than or equal to 50% to \<75% adhered (less than half of the patch lifting off the skin); 3 = greater than (\>) 0% to \<50% adhered but not detached (more than half of the patch lifting off the skin without falling off); and 4 = 0% adhered - patch detached (patch completely off the skin).
Time frame: Baseline up to 72 hours following patch application
Adhesion Area Calculated by Digital Image Analysis
Digital image will be captured with high resolution for each transdermal patch site and adhesion area will be calculated.
Time frame: Baseline up to 72 hours following patch application
Total Adhesion Score Calculated by Visual Grading Grid System
Total adhesion score will be calculated by visual grading grid system (a grid system based on 20 four-sided divisions that are approximately 5% of the total patch area; 44 cm\^2 patch will be evaluated by square and rectangular grid elements while 5.5 cm\^2 patch will be evaluated by square grid element only) which also contains a scale to allow for proper determination of actual area of the patch not adhering to the skin. Total area of the patch which does not adhere will be calculated. Any area of the patch that does not entirely adhere onto the skin will be scored as 0% adhesion for that area. Subsequently, a total adhesion score for that system will be calculated.
Time frame: Baseline up to 72 hours following patch application
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious AEs
Time frame: Baseline up to 72 hours following patch application
