Summary
This study tested whether a combination of oxytocin (a natural hormone) and vibration could help people tolerate heat pain from a mild sunburn. Thirty-eight healthy adults with light to medium skin tones received a small sunburn on their arm. Researchers measured how much heat they could handle before feeling pain, with and without the treatment. The goal was to see if oxytocin makes vibration more effective at blocking pain.
