In this functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) study, the primary objective is to examine the acute effects of intranasal OT administration on emotional- and reward-related brain processes in PTSD patients compared to traumatized healthy…
Primary aim:In recently traumatized individuals (at the latest on day ten post trauma exposure) with a high initial level of distress, we aim to assess the effectiveness of intranasal OT in preventing symptoms of PTSD at one months post intervention…
Fundamental research with the objective to gain more insight in empathic processes within people suffering from psychopathy. Goal is to evaluate if affective empathic can be temporarily altered (in terms of minutes).
With the proposed study we aim to gain insight into the effects of oxytocin (OT) on both parents* and grandparents* sensitive, empathic, and protective responses to their (grand)children, and in the neural origins of these responses.The primary…
To investigate the analgesic profile of different classical and non-classical analgesic compounds using a battery of pain tests (PainCart) in healthy subjects compared to a negative control.Secondary:- Investigate the association between subjective…
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin versus placebo on social behaviour and also on eating behaviour in children with PWS.
In a series of randomized control trials (RCTs) the following hypothesis will be tested: Intranasal administration of oxytocin and vasopressin affect neural and behavioral responses to infant signals and threat to the infant.* Oxytocin and…
Based on the identified gaps in the evidence underlying the clinical guidelines on non-specific low back pain of the Dutch College of GPs and the recent findings of the Australian PACE study the objectives of the present study are: 1. What is the…
To evaluate the effects of intranasal oxytocin compared to placebo administration on appetite, satiety and food intake.Also effects on social behavior, BMI, body composition, IGF-I levels and genetic differences (deletion / mUPD). To assess oxytocin…
- To educate adolescents about clinical drug studies by involving them as project team members and participants in an experiment with negligible risk and minimal burden;- To investigate the effects of paracetamol on nociception in adolescents; - To…
This proposal centers on hormone-behavior dynamics in paternal caregiving, with the goal of gaining a better understanding of the development of human paternal caregiving. There is limited information on the hormonal basis of caregiving patterns in…
Our study aims at investigating whether male adults with ASD differ from healthy male adults in their neurophysiological responses to positive and negative empathy-evoking pictures when taking oxytocin intranasally once. To this end we will compare…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
The overall aim of this study is to achieve optimal QoL and ADL function in long term care falicity (LTCF) residents with moderate to (very) severe dementia and moderate to low QoL, and to achieve less care dependency, less pain, challenging…
Primary objective is to examine the effect of acetaminophen on the cardiac deceleration associated with the painful experience of social rejection.
Primary objective: to research if Paracetamol reduces Remifentanil use when added to Remifentanil/PCA pain management during labour. Patients: Women in labour, using Remifantanil as pain management Intervention: Paracetamol intravenous (1 gram,…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of antenatal paracetamol/placebo administration to pregnant women 0.5-2 hours prior to birth.The secondary objective of this study is to compare the effect of antenatal acetaminophen…
The aim of the study is to understand whether enhanced oxytocin levels lead to increased eye contact between patient and physician, and if this in turn improves the patient-physician relationship as perceived by the patient.
The aim of this study is to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying altered social performance monitoring from a pharmacological perspective by directly comparing the effects of dopamine and oxytocin on individual and social…
The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority versus placebo of a 4 weeks intranasal OT administration on oral skills assessed by the Neonatal Oral-Motor Assessment Scale (NOMAS) in infants with PWS aged less than or equal to 3 months at…
