Repeated oxytocin prevents central sensitization by regulating synaptic plasticity via oxytocin receptor in a chronic migraine mouse model

ConclusionsOur findings demonstrate that repeated intranasal OT eliminates central sensitization by regulating synaptic plasticity via OTR in CM. The effect of OT has closely associated with the down-regulation of AC1/PKA/pCREB signaling pathway, which is activated in CM model. Repeated intranasal OT may be a potential candidate for CM prevention.
