Brain hormone tested as potential pain blocker
NCT ID NCT04431206
Summary
This study aimed to understand if the hormone oxytocin, given through an IV, could reduce pain. Researchers tested this by applying a mild, heated probe to the skin of healthy volunteers and people with severe knee arthritis, asking them to rate their pain. The goal was to create a model for how oxytocin might work as a pain reliever, but the study was terminated early.
