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 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.
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 giving oxytocin (a natural hormone) through an IV can help reduce pain after a minimally invasive hysterectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be able to join.
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 study tests a nerve block (called sphenopalatine ganglion block) for pain relief after pituitary tumor surgery through the nose. It aims to see if this block helps manage pain and reduces the need for other pain medicines.
