Official title
Plasma Oxytocin Changes in Response to Music Modified by Sonic Augmentation Technology vs Unaugmented Control Music in Healthy Controls and Patients With AVP-Deficiency
Overview
The investigator aim to investigate wheather music modified by sonic augmentation technology can produce increasing oxytocin levels with minimal to no side effects in a highly standardized setting
Interventions
- Other sonic augmentation technology
Participants/ patients listen to music enhanced with sonic aumentation technology
Primary outcome measures
- Change in oxytocin levels in healthy adults after listening to SAT enhanced music vs. placebo music [Time frame: up to 30 min]
- Change in oxytocin levels in patients with AVP-deficiency after listening to SAT enhanced music [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Area under the concentration time curve in plasma oxytocin [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Peak change in plasma oxytocin [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Time course of plasma oxytocin levels [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Time course of plasma copeptin [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Time course of plasma cortisol [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Time course of plasma neurophysin-1 [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Time course of other pituitary hormones/biomarkers [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Subjective/emotional effects assessed on numeric rating scale (NRS) [Time frame: up to 30 minutes]
- Anxiety level using State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI - State) [Time frame: up to 35 minutes]
- Frequency of specific body stress reactions using the Body Perception Questionnaire Short Form (BPQ-SF) [Time frame: up to 50 minutes]
- Recognition of emotions and body expressions in the EmBody/EmFace task [Time frame: up to 35 minutes]
- Assessment of blood pressure [Time frame: up to 40 minutes]
