The effect of diazepam on physiologically measured stress.
Responses to stress were reduced significantly in healthy volunteer subjects when diazepam was used as a sedative.  Decreases in response to painful stimuli in a nontreated group averaged 17 percent; decreases in response to the stimuli in the group sedated with diazepam averaged 84 percent.
