Summary

This trial is studying oxytocin to see if it can reduce pain in people with severe knee arthritis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with a BMI under 40, either healthy or suffering from severe knee arthritis. Healthy participants must have normal blood pressure and heart rate without medication; those with arthritis can be on blood pressure meds. Women of childbearing age should use effective birth control.
What is being tested?
The study tests the pain-reducing effects of oxytocin, given through an IV, in response to sustained heat applied to the skin. Participants will rate their pain during this process to help develop a model for peripheral analgesia using oxytocin.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed in the provided information but may include reactions at the infusion site, changes in blood pressure or heart rate due to oxytocin's known effects on smooth muscle tissue.
