NCT ID NCT07290205
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses brain scans (fMRI) to understand how the sedative remimazolam changes brain activity, memory, and pain perception. About 60 healthy adults will receive the drug and undergo memory tests and mild pain stimulation while being scanned. The goal is to learn how the drug works in the brain, not to treat any condition.
