Scientists track eye twitches to decode Brain's pain signals

NCT ID NCT04427709

Summary

This study aims to understand if a hormone called oxytocin affects a specific type of pupil movement (hippus) as a way to measure brain activity. Researchers will compare healthy volunteers to people with chronic knee pain from arthritis. Participants receive either oxytocin or a placebo injection while their pupil movements are carefully tracked with a special camera.
