Summary
This completed study looked at nearly 1,000 patients having painless gastrointestinal endoscopy to find out how often propofol causes feelings of euphoria, how strong those feelings are, and how long they last. Researchers asked patients to rate their pleasure and mood changes after the procedure. The goal is to better understand propofol's potential for misuse or addictive behaviors.
