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…
The goal is to find answer to the question: do epidural injections with corticosteroids in patients with sciatica have a positive effect on pain, absenteeism from work and number of operations compared to standard care (pain medication only).
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…
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).
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…
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…
Objective: This study hypothesizes that an oxytocin inhalation will increase prosocial behavior and reduces social anxiety during social interaction specifically in patients with SAD in comparison to a clinical and healthy control group
-The objective of this study is to determine, whether the use of an perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has an superior effect on postoperative pain after open hernia inguinal repair compared to wound infiltration with a long acting local…
To study whether the administration of oxytocin leads to stronger empathic responses on 3 different empathy-related tasks compared to a placebo.
To analyse the effect of preoperative intracutaneous and intraperitoneal instillation of levobupivacaine on postoperative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
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…
to compare the analgesic efficacy of levobupivacaine and ropivacaine in patient-controlled epidural analgesia, as assessed by the number of requests for epidural bolus injectionsto compare visual analogue scale (VAS) scores and neural block…
The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of approach behavior and action control in healthy volunteersResults from this study shall give rise to designing a future study on the…
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…
The main objective of the present protocol is to investigate to what extent oxytocin modulates specific aspects of interpersonal approach, mimicry, and communication in healthy volunteers with varying degrees of social anxiety.Results from this…
The objective of this study is to determine, whether the use of an perioperative echo guided unilateral TAP block has an superior effect onpostoperative pain after open hernia inguinal repair compared to wound infiltration with a long acting local…
The objective of this study is to determine the clinical outcomes of ultrasound guided femoral nerve blockage using intermitting shots of levobupivacaine, in patients with hip fractures and to compare these results with placebo injections.The…
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…
The objective of this study is to investigate the extent of respiratory depression at equi-analgesic dosages of tapentadol and oxycodone
Objectives: 1) To investigate whether attachment security, autonomy-connectedness, and childhood experiences moderate effects of social support during stress; 2) To investigate the influence of oxytocin on the ability to be close to others (in an…
