Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study will examine the next-day residual effects of a nighttime dose of gabapentin 250 mg, diphenhydramine citrate 76 mg and triazolam 0.5 mg compared to placebo and each other on simulated driving performance in normal volunteer subjects. It will also examine other measures of next-day performance and next-day sleepiness.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Standard Deviation of Lateral Position (SDLP) [7.25 hours post-dose]

    Driving performance assessment for the participants were measured by simulated driving test using Cognitive Research Corporation Driving Simulator (CRCDS-MiniSim). The assessment was performed after 45 minutes of awakening from approximately 6.5 hours of sleep on testing day (after 7.25 hours of study drug administration). SDLP was used to assess driver's ability to track their lane and was the standard deviation of lane positions through the entire drive.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Speed Deviation [7.25 hours post dose]

    Driving performance assessment for the participants were measured by simulated driving test using Cognitive Research Corporation Driving Simulator (CRCDS-MiniSim). The assessment was performed after 45 minutes of awakening from approximately 6.5 hours of sleep on testing day (after 7.25 hours of study drug administration). Standard deviation of speed was reported in the outcome measure.

  2. Lane Exceedance [7.25 hours post-dose]

    Driving performance assessment for the participants were measured by simulated driving test using Cognitive Research Corporation Driving Simulator (CRCDS-MiniSim). The assessment was performed after 45 minutes of awakening from approximately 6.5 hours of sleep on testing day (after 7.25 hours of study drug administration). Mean lanes excursed/exceeded was reported in the outcome measure.
