NCT ID NCT02225600

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a nasal spray of oxytocin, sometimes called the 'love hormone,' can improve trust and cooperation in people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Researchers will compare how BPD patients and healthy adults play a trust game, both with and without oxytocin. The goal is to understand brain and behavior differences, not to treat the disorder directly. About 40 adults aged 18–55 will take part.
