Oxytocin in young children with Prader‐Willi syndrome: Results of a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, crossover trial investigating 3 months of oxytocin

Abstract

Intranasal oxytocin treatment has positive effects on social and eating behaviour in 3-11 years aged boys with PWS and in children with a deletion without safety concerns. Intranasal oxytocin in children with PWS might be considered, but individual effects should be carefully evaluated and treatment discontinued if no effects are found.
