study. The study is looking at the effect of opioid (narcotic) pain medicines
on pain sensation, threshold and tolerance. The study consists of one visit,

testing will be done. The testing (Quantitative Sensory Testing) is
noninvasive (no needles) and involves heat and cold stimulation. Estimated
time of the visit is 90 minutes. Compensation will be provided.
You may qualify if you are between the ages of 18-65 and:
1. have chronic pain, and have not taken narcotic pain
medications in the past month

medication for at least one month.
