Oxytocin levels in children with pituitary disease
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- If taking birth control pills or hormone therapy, must stop for at least 6 weeks before study visits
- English language proficiency
- No recent blood clots, strokes, heart problems, or serious kidney/liver disease

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 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.
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.
This study tests whether a nasal spray called oxytocin (TNX-1900) can reduce pain and help recovery after surgery for a pituitary tumor. It is for adults who are about to have pituitary surgery and are not on certain medications or with certain health conditions.
This Phase 2 study tests whether oxytocin can help improve bone health in children and teens with autism spectrum disorder. It also checks safety by monitoring symptoms and doing blood tests and imaging.
This study tests whether the hormone oxytocin can help adolescents with obesity lose weight. You may be asked to stay on your usual diet and routines during the 18-week study to see how well the treatment works.
