Could a nasal spray strengthen bones in kids with autism?
NCT ID NCT05754073
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin, a natural hormone, can improve bone health in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 6 to 18. Participants will receive either oxytocin or a placebo spray twice daily for 12 months, followed by 6 months where everyone gets oxytocin. The goal is to see if oxytocin can increase bone density and strength, which is often lower in children with ASD.
