NCT ID NCT05929339
Summary
This study aimed to understand how the hormone oxytocin affects pain when given through an IV. Researchers tested 25 healthy volunteers and people with knee arthritis by applying heat to their skin and measuring pain levels before, during, and after receiving oxytocin. The goal was to create a detailed model showing how the body processes oxytocin and how it changes pain perception over time.
