Brief Summary: Exaggerated pain and hyperalgesia are major issues after surgery and can lead to chronic pain Opioid are parts of pain sensitization processes but remain absolutely necessary in the intraoperative period NMDA receptor antagonists succeed in reducing this pain sensitization process Recent studies show that in pain and opioid-experienced rats POER fentanyl ultra low doses do not induce analgesia as observed in naive rats but hyperalgesia This is the first demonstration that a drug can induce opposite effect depending on individual history We also observed a strong correlation between this hyperalgesic response in POER and the intensity of hyperalgesia they develop later after inflammatory or surgical pain The main aim of this study is to measure the dose effect response to fentanyl ultra low doses on human volunteers nociceptive threshold to determine if such an opposite response profile can be revealed
Detailed Description: Principal Objective Evaluate fentanyl ultra low doses effects on human volunteers nociceptive threshold depending on their prior pain and opioid experience
Secondary Objective Confirm the innocuousness of this test the 3 ultra low doses used in this trial will be 10 to 1000 fold lower than low doses use for anesthesia and analgesia and to find the fentanyl ultra low dose that could be used to develop a pain sensitisation predictive test
Study design Bicentric prospective randomized double-blind study

Inclusion criteria

In both groups

18-40 years old male volunteer
weight 60 to 85 kg
ASA score 1
Informed consent obtained from the patient
Gender Male

In operated group

- At least one history of peripheral surgery under general anesthesia with opioid in the past five years

Exclusion criteria

In both groups

The patient do not accept inclusion to the study
Drug or alcohol abuse history
Chronic use of analgesic drugs or history of chronic pain
Analgesic or opioid consumption within the 12hs preceding the fentanyl or placebo injection

Study plan comparing two groups that only defer by their surgical and opioid prior experience and will receive three fentanyl ultra low doses 10 to 1000 fold lower than low doses use for anesthesia and analgesia and placebo cross over administration one week wash out period
