Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06222749Recruiting
Oxytocin and Brain Reward in Women
This study looks at how a hormone called oxytocin affects the brain's reward system in women. If you are a healthy woman with a natural menstrual cycle or on birth control pills, you may be able to join and help researchers understand how oxytocin influences emotions and motivation.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–40 - NCT07559656Recruiting

This study tests whether a nasal spray called oxytocin, combined with real-time brain imaging feedback, can help train a specific brain region involved in emotions and body awareness. Researchers will use MRI scans to show you your own brain activity in real time.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07367672Recruiting
How beliefs affect pain empathy
This trial studies how our expectations can change how we feel pain for others. It may help us understand the placebo effect better.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT05432089RecruitingPhase 2
Oxytocin and therapist-client syncing during inpatient care
This Phase 2 study tests whether giving oxytocin (a hormone sometimes studied for social and bonding effects) helps patients and therapists become more “physiologically synchronized” during inpatient psychiatric care. It compares responses in patients and therapists to see if this change is measurable and potentially helpful.

Can oxytocin spray improve sex life in people with AVP deficiency?
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin can improve sexual well-being in people with a condition called arginine vasopressin deficiency (a problem with a hormone that controls water balance).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Intranasal Oxytocin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting studies that include Intranasal Oxytocin, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Intranasal Oxytocin trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Intranasal Oxytocin an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Intranasal Oxytocin or a specific trial is right for you.
