The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether medications used in peri-procedural clinical settings can modulate drug liking.
Specifically, we aim to measure differences in drug liking with a VAS (0 - 100) questionnaire. Additionally, we will monitor neural activity recording a frontal electroencephalogram (EEG) to detect changes in brain signals associated with opioid drug effects. By comparing behavioral and neurophysiological data across treatment and control groups, this study seeks to explore the therapeutic potential of this medication.

Change in Drug Liking Rating
Change in drug liking rating (0-100), anchored by divert "not at all=0" and "as much as possible=100".
Time frame: One minute before and 1, 3, and 5 minutes after fentanyl administration
EEG band power
Assessment of the change in power of the frontal EEG canonical frequency bands measured in decibles (dB).
Time frame: From administration of the study drug to about 1 hour after.
Change in Sedation Rating
Change in self-reported sedation rating (0-100), anchored by divert "not at all=0" and "as much as possible=100".
Time frame: One minute before and 1, 3, and 5 minutes after fentanyl administration
