Testing a brain-activity measure using oxytocin and eye movements
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a particular brain-activity signal—seen in small rhythmic eye movements—can be measured reliably. It also looks at how oxytocin (a hormone used in medical settings) affects that signal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses brain imaging (MRI) to understand how opioid medications may affect the brain in women. People with chronic pain who take opioids (or do not) and healthy women without chronic pain may be invited to participate.
This trial tests a new device to measure oxygen levels in the brain of people with chronic pain who are receiving spinal cord stimulation. It aims to see if brain oxygen changes can help manage pain better.
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.
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.
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.
This early-phase study tests whether oxytocin (a hormone-like medication) can reduce how “appealing” opioids feel and also reduce pain. It’s aimed at older adults who have used opioids before but are not currently dealing with chronic pain most days.
