First seen Feb 23, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin, a natural body chemical, can help reduce pain and improve daily function in people with chronic pain. About 336 adults with nerve, muscle, or pelvic pain will try three different sprays (low-dose oxytocin, medium-dose oxytocin, and a placebo) over several weeks, without knowing which is which. The goal is to see if oxytocin offers better pain relief than the placebo, potentially offering a new option for managing chronic pain.
