Anti‐nociceptive effects of oxytocin receptor modulation in healthy volunteers–A randomized, double‐blinded, placebo‐controlled study

Abstract Background There is increasing evidence for oxytocin as a neurotransmitter in spinal nociceptive processes. Hypothalamic oxytocinergic neurons project to the spinal dorsal horn, where they activate GABA‐ergic inhibitory interneurons. The present study tested whether the long‐acting oxytocin... View More
