Ocular Task
  Flicker Fusion #1 8.9 36.5 (1.2) 33.1 (1.2) 33.1 (1.2) 34.7 (1.4) 32.7 (1.9) 35.8 (1.5) 33.9 (1.5)

All measures were analyzed as peak maximum score, with the exception of pupil diameter, respiration rate and both Flicker Fusion means (which are trough or minimum scores). Values are mean peak scores and standard error of the mean for placebo (PLC), oxycodone (OXY), tramadol (TRAM) and codeine (CODE) (numbers next to drug abbreviations are doses expressed in mg). Bolded values indicate the mean is significantly different from the corresponding placebo value (p < 0.5, Dunnett post-hoc).
