Effects of Intranasal Oxytocin on Emotion Regulation in Adolescents

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intranasal administration of OT on behavior and discourse of insecure adolescents during a disagreement (stressful situation) with parents.

Clinical Trial Description

Emotional dysregulation and impaired attachment in adolescence are seen by clinical researchers as potential contributors to development of psychopathology. Recent evidence suggests that administration of intranasal OT may facilitate social interaction by attenuating the stress response to interpersonal conflict. However, to date there have been no studies investigating the effects of intranasal OT on parent-adolescent interaction and on neurophysiological emotional strategies in adolescence. To understand these mechanisms, this study examines the effects of OT on interpersonal emotional regulation in adolescent-parent stressful interaction, and on individual visual and physiological strategies in the visualizing attachment-related emotions pictures.

The main objective will be to evaluate the effect of intranasal administration of OT on behavior and discourse of insecure adolescents during a disagreement (stressful situation) with one of his parents.

Secondary is determine the effect of OT on visual exploration strategies and on the physiological responses (heart rate, galvanic skin response) on images elicited attachment-related emotions in insecure adolescents.

In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel designs, 60 healthy male adolescents classified with an insecure attachment will receive 24 IU of intranasal OT or placebo, 45 min before the experimental tasks. Adolescent will be invited with his/her parent to an experimental conflict discussion. The conflict session will be videotaped and coded for verbal and nonverbal interaction behavior (e.g., eye contact, nonverbal positive/negative behavior, and self-disclosure) with GPACS. Eye tracking and physiological responses will be recorded simultaneously and continuously during pictures viewing. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
