  1. 01HumanNon-randomized trialEfficacy outcome

    In men given morphine, MIF‑1 increased immersion-phase pain scores versus placebo at 45 and 75 minutes after morphine.

    Summary
    Analysis of variance revealed that MIF-1 resulted in significantly higher scores (less analgesia) compared with placebo when measured at 45 and 75 min after morphine during the immersion phase and during all four times the subjects were evaluated during the removal phase.
