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.

- Child has been diagnosed with a pituitary gland condition (either AVP-D or hypopituitary disease)

- 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
- No active smoking, pregnancy, or current mental health crisis

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 study looks at sleep problems in people whose hypothalamus or pituitary gland does not work normally. It compares their sleep with healthy volunteers to better understand how these conditions affect rest.
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 if a nasal spray containing oxytocin (a natural hormone) can help reduce pain and speed up recovery after pituitary surgery. It may help patients who are having their first pituitary surgery and meet the health requirements listed below.
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.
