Newark, DelawareAges 18–55 - NCT05488457RecruitingPhase 2
Oxytocin timing and effects during planned C-section
This study looks at how oxytocin (a medicine often used to help with labor and uterine contractions) moves through the body and what it does during a non-emergency C-section. It may help improve how oxytocin is used in the future for safer, more predictable delivery care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–50 - NCT06333340Recruiting
Comparing two medicines to prevent heavy bleeding after planned cesarean
This study compares two medicines—carbetocin and oxytocin—given during a planned cesarean to help prevent heavy bleeding after delivery. It is for women who have certain risk factors for uterine atony (when the uterus does not tighten up after birth).
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT06334172Recruiting
Can oxytocin control blood sugar?
This trial tests if the hormone oxytocin helps control blood sugar levels. It may offer insight into new ways to manage glucose. You may be a good fit if you are a healthy adult with a normal BMI.
Hellerup, Capital RegionAges 20–50 - NCT06676774RecruitingPhase 2
Does oxytocin nasal spray help people with diabetes insipidus?
This study tests if a nasal spray with oxytocin (a natural hormone) can improve emotion recognition and reduce stress-related hormone levels in people with central diabetes insipidus compared to healthy volunteers.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07077655Recruiting
Marmet and oxytocin massage for breast milk increase
This trial compares two massage techniques to help new mothers produce more breast milk. If you had a cesarean birth and are exclusively breastfeeding, this study may show you a way to boost your milk supply.
IzmirAges 18–35 - NCT07162584Recruiting
Oxytocin and human defensive responses
This study looks at how oxytocin—a natural hormone—affects your body's defensive reactions in changing situations. It may help researchers understand how our brains handle fear and safety.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–35 - NCT07409753RecruitingPhase 2
How oxytocin affects nerve signals in healthy women
This study tests how a single dose of oxytocin affects nerve signals in your arm. It helps researchers understand how oxytocin might change the way your body senses touch or pain.
LinköpingAges 18–65 - NCT07559656Recruiting
Oxytocin and Brain Training for Emotional Awareness
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 - NCT07609693Recruiting
Oxytocin Massage to Help New Mothers With Breastfeeding
