Summary

If you are age 20-55 years old and have trouble falling or staying asleep, then please contact a UCSD research team to find out how a study drug affects these symptoms and how your brain works. This is a one-week experimental pain research study using a study drug compared to placebo. Your participation will include questionnaires, a physical exam and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) brain imaging techniques. We will test pain perception by applying brief mild to moderate heat pain to the forearm, and also have you perform simple computer tasks while we image and record brain activity using fMRI.
