Summary
Some research suggests that administration of oxytocin with oxycodone may reduce its abuse
liability and improve its ability to reduce pain. In a 6-session laboratory study, we will be
evaluating the effects of oxycodone and oxytocin (combined and separately, across sessions)
on experimentally-induced pain, subjective effects, and decision-making.
