Can oxytocin spray improve sex life in people with AVP deficiency?
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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). Healthy volunteers who have mild sexual issues will also take part for comparison. Participants receive either the oxytocin spray or a placebo and fill out questionnaires about their sex life.

This study measures oxytocin (a natural hormone) levels in children who have pituitary gland problems. Researchers want to understand if children with certain pituitary conditions don't make enough oxytocin, which could help guide future treatments.
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.
This trial tests whether listening to music modified by a special technology changes oxytocin levels in the blood. It may help us understand how music affects social bonding and stress.
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.
