Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, calls or treatment using a genuine doctor. We are not docs. Always consult your dr. on Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) Clinical research trials and Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) healthcare trials occur in a lot of of places throughout the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the potency of new drugs. The intent of the studies / undertakings is to figure out certain human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to locate remedies for all kinds of circumstances, including Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB). Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the participants undergo treatment for free, and sometimes they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) clinical trial. Participants typically obtain the most effective healthcare available for their Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB) condition. Dangers are a reality, nonetheless, and can include extra or frequent mD trips, medical hazards (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Physiological, Behavioral and Subjective Effects of Drugs (GHB)
For Condition: Sedative abuse
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Orphan Medical , Johns Hopkins University
Synopsis: The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid by comparing its physiological, behavioral and subjective effects with those of several other drugs.
Details: The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of gamma-hydroxybutyric acid by comparing its physiological, behavioral and subjective effects with those of several other drugs. This trial will be conducted as a double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, counter-balanced (Latin-square design) crossover study in volunteers with histories of sedative abuse. Volunteers will be recruited through advertising and word-of-mouth. Volunteers will reside on our residential research unit for the duration of the study and participate in a maximum of 16 experimental sessions. Sessions will be conducted five days a week (Monday through Friday). The primary subjective and behavioral measures will be taken before drug administration and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 hours after drug administration.
