Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Volunteer study with 24 healthy volunteers to perform pain research and to study the reversal of hyperalgesia by IMP
Intervention(s)

Trade Name: Ultiva
Product Name: Remifentanil
Product Code: N01AH06
Pharmaceutical Form: Intravenous infusion
Pharmaceutical form of the placebo: Intravenous infusion
