Effects of oxytocin administration on cue-induced craving in co-occurring alcohol use disorder and PTSD: a within-participant randomized clinical trial.

CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings suggest that oxytocin does not affect cue-induced craving. Our results contribute to an ever-growing field of research investigating the effects of intranasal oxytocin on the symptoms of substance use disorders and will help further refine methodology and streamline future inquiries in this area.
