Comparative Cognitive and Subjective Side Effects of Immediate-Release Oxycodone in Healthy Middle-Aged and Older Adults
The Journal of Pain, 09/04/09
Cherrier MM et al. – Significant declines in simple and sustained attention, working memory, and verbal memory were observed at 1 hour postdose compared to baseline for both age groups with a trend toward return to baseline by 5 hours postdose. For almost all cognitive measures, there were no medication by age–interaction effects, which indicates that the 2 age groups exhibited similar responses to the medication challenge. This study suggests that for healthy older adults who are not suffering from chronic pain, neurocognitive and pharmacodynamic changes in response to a 10–mg dose of immediate–release oxycodone are similar to those observed for middle–aged adults.
