Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Natural levels measured1

These results measure the body's own peptide. Nobody was given the peptide. They are not evidence about taking it. They are left out of key results, evidence counts and charts.

    In a meta-analysis of trials, spinal manipulation increased the body's own oxytocin levels after the intervention versus control, on low quality evidence.

    In plain wordsIn a review of trials, spinal manipulation raised the body's own oxytocin levels compared with control, based on low quality evidence.

    Summary
    There was also a low quality evidence that spinal manipulation is better than control at post-intervention in increasing substance-P (SMD -0.48,95%CI-0.87 to -0.1), neurotensin (SMD -1.8,95%CI-2.56 to -1.04) and oxytocin levels (SMD -2.61,95%CI-3.5to-1.72).

    Summary · context
    Electronic databases (n = 10) were searched (from inception till September 2016) and eight trials (325 participants) that met the inclusion criteria were included in the meta-analysis.

    This result measures the body's own Oxytocin. Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
