NCT ID NCT06702631
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to understand how low doses of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) affect the way the brain processes pain and forms memories. Healthy volunteers will have their brain activity measured while receiving mild pain stimulation, both with and without the gas. The goal is to learn more about how pain and memory interact in the brain, not to treat any condition.
