Routes of drug administration for daily maintenance and challenge sessions were as follows: morphine 60 mg/day (15 mg QID)—subcutaneous injection; tramadol 200 mg/day (50 mg QID) and 800 mg/day (200 mg QID)—oral; placebo, naloxone, and hydromorphone challenges—intramuscular injection. Variance results were not included due to space limitations but are available upon request

The mean maximum decrease in pupil diameter from baseline
Significant difference (p<0.05) from placebo challenge during tramadol maintenance
Significant difference (p<0.05) between tramadol dose conditions
