Can a 'Trust Hormone' nasal spray fix broken relationships?
NCT ID NCT02225600
Summary
This small, suspended pilot study aimed to see if a nasal spray containing oxytocin (a hormone linked to social bonding) could help people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) cooperate better with others. Researchers compared 40 adults with and without BPD playing a trust-based computer game after receiving the spray or a placebo. The goal was to understand the brain and behavior behind BPD's social difficulties, not to provide immediate treatment.
