PharmacofMRI of Anxiolytic Medications (Pregabalin)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Pregabalin 50mg, Pregabalin 200 MG, and 1 other intervention for Anxiety Disorders. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in healthy controls to examine the acute effects of certain anxiolytic medications on brain function. In this case, the medication pregabalin will be used. The investigators hypothesize that pregabalin (at doses of 50 mg and 200 mg, versus placebo) will yield a reduction in amygdala and insula activity (in a dose-dependent fashion) during emotion processing using fMRI.
