Summary

This study aims to develop a better way to test how pain medicines work in healthy adults. Up to 25 volunteers will receive two different pain relievers and a placebo, then undergo short, controlled pain tests like cold water and temporary sunburn-like skin sensitivity. The goal is to see if this testing approach can tell the difference between medicines that work on the brain versus those that reduce inflammation. This study will not directly help participants but may improve future pain treatment research.
