Study Summary

This study proposes to evaluate the effects that a dose of oxytocin given by intramuscular (IM) injection (into the muscle) will have on an area of skin that has been exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The area of skin exposed to UV light will have a mild sun burn feeling. Sensory testing will be performed on the area of UV burn. The area will be evaluated for sensitivity in 3 methods: touch, vibratory

Primary Outcome

Vibration frequency detection threshold in the burned area after IM Oxytocin or placebo injection will be obtained by the subject placing the forearm area that was exposed to the UV burn on the oscillatory device and informing the investigators when the first perception of vibration is felt. A recording of the frequency (1 kilo Hertz to 1 Hertz) will be documented.
