Hormone shot tested to turn down the heat on sunburn pain

NCT ID NCT06651476

Summary

This study tested whether a hormone called oxytocin, given through an IV, could boost the pain-relieving effect of vibration on mild sunburns. Researchers compared oxytocin to a placebo (a dummy treatment) in 38 healthy adults to see if it made their sunburned skin less sensitive to heat pain. The goal was to find a new way to manage the discomfort of sunburn.
