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.

Oxytocin effects on baby’s heart rate during labor
This study looks at how oxytocin (a labor-inducing/strengthening medicine) may affect your baby’s heart rate during labor. It also compares what happens when labor pain relief is given as a spinal/epidural injection.

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 - NCT06194851RecruitingPhase 2
Oxytocin nasal spray plus couples therapy for Veterans with PTSD
This study tests whether a nasal spray of oxytocin (a natural hormone) can boost the effects of a brief couples therapy for Veterans with PTSD. You and your partner would receive either the spray or a placebo (inactive spray) during therapy sessions to see if it helps reduce PTSD symptoms and improve relationship satisfaction.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05290129Recruiting
Oxytocin drip during C-section labor to help maintain contractions
This trial tests whether a continuous oxytocin infusion during a C-section helps maintain labor progress in people already receiving oxytocin. It may help reduce labor-related complications, but only if you meet the safety requirements for anesthesia and pregnancy conditions.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT04949633RecruitingPhase 3
Oxytocin or prostaglandins to start labor with an unfavorable cervix
This study compares two medicines used to help the cervix become ready for labor—oxytocin versus prostaglandins—when the cervix is not yet favorable. It may help your care team choose the most effective and safest way to induce labor after the cervix has not improved for 24 hours.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04789148RecruitingPhase 1
Nasal oxytocin trial for people with hormone deficiency
This early-phase study tests whether a spray of oxytocin in the nose can be given safely and may affect symptoms in people with arginine-vasopressin deficiency. You might qualify if your hormone levels are stable and you can safely take the nasal study medicine during the study period.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04218409RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tests a spray to reduce opioid use and pain
This early trial studies whether Syntocinon can lower pain and help reduce how much opioids people use. It checks safety and the best dose by giving participants the study drug under close medical monitoring.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–45 - NCT03860233RecruitingPhase 1
Oxytocin added to CPAP for obstructive sleep apnea
This early study tests whether adding oxytocin to your usual CPAP treatment improves obstructive sleep apnea. It may help see if oxytocin changes how well CPAP works or how people feel while using it.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06348472Recruiting
Biomarkers and PTSD psychotherapy response
This study is looking at whether certain biomarkers in your blood (related to inflammation and the oxytocin system) can predict how well you respond to trauma-focused psychotherapy. It may help find better ways to personalize PTSD treatment.
Hod HaSharonAges 18–80 - NCT07798349Recruiting
Ear stimulation for social attention
This study tests whether a gentle electrical stimulation device applied to the ear can change how people pay attention to social cues. It aims to help researchers understand how this type of brain stimulation affects social attention.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07742124Recruiting
Oxytocin nasal spray for postmenopausal women
This study tests whether an oxytocin nasal spray affects social behavior and hormones in postmenopausal women. Being postmenopausal may change how the body responds to oxytocin, so this research aims to see if it can help with mood or social connections.

MDMA for people with vasopressin deficiency
This study tests whether a low dose of MDMA, compared to a placebo, changes oxytocin levels in people with a condition called arginine vasopressin deficiency (also known as central diabetes insipidus). The goal is to understand the role of oxytocin in this condition and explore potential treatment insights.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07367672Recruiting
How beliefs affect pain empathy

Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–30 - NCT07361263Recruiting
Study of oxytocin response to oral estrogens
This trial looks at how the body's oxytocin level changes after taking estrogen pills. It includes healthy people and those with a condition called AVP-deficiency (a lack of a hormone that controls water balance). The study aims to understand how estrogen affects oxytocin.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Oxytocin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting studies that include 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 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 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 Oxytocin or a specific trial is right for you.
