    Effects of Intranasal Oxytocin Administration on Social Influence Effects on Pain

    NCT03060031

    21 Jun 2017 to 1 Apr 2019

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

This experiment will explore the joint effects of social information, social support, associative learning, and oxytocin on the development of placebo analgesia. The investigators predict that socially transmitted placebo effects will be enhanced by nasal administration of oxytocin, whereas associative learning effects on pain will not be altered by this pharmacological manipulation

Interventions

  • OxytocinDrug
  • PlaceboDrug

Arms2

  • Experimental

    Oxytocin

    Each participant will undergo pain tasks after self-administration of oxytocin

  • Placebo comparator

    Placebo

    Each participant will undergo pain tasks after self-administration of placebo

Primary outcomes3

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Change in pain expectation rating score made on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after administration of Oxytocin vs. Placebo

    Time frame · Measured during pain tasks at session 1 (within one month of screening survey completion) and 2 which will be within one week of each other.

    Registry description

    Self reported expectation of pain intensity using the VAS ranging from 0-100 (with 0 representing "no pain at all" and 100 representing "most intense pain imaginable (in the context of the experiment)).

  2. Change in pain rating score made on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after administration of Oxytocin vs. Placebo

    Time frame · Measured during pain tasks at session 1(within one month of screening survey completion) and 2 which will be within one week of each other.

    Registry description

    Self reported pain intensity using the VAS ranging from 0-100 (with 0 representing "no pain at all" and 100 representing "most intense pain imaginable (in the context of the experiment)).

  3. Change in pain unpleasantness rating score during hand holding and control conditions made on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) after administration of Oxytocin vs. Placebo

    Time frame · Measured during pain tasks at session 1 (within one month of screening survey completion)and 2 which will be within one week of each other.

    Registry description
