Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.

GroupTitleDescriptionWith the outcomeAnalysedClinicalTrials.gov code
Group 1Saline
Under direction of a research team member, participants will self-administer intranasal normal saline shortly before beginning the fMRI experiment.~Investigators, staff, and participants were blinded to the treatment options. Each of the agents will be administrated by means of a nasal spray. Participants will be instructed by a nurse/PI to self-administer the nasal spray as follows: one spray in each nostril alternating sides, 30 seconds apart for a total of two sprays per nostril.~Saline: Intranasal saline will serve as a placebo for participants in the Saline Arm~Observational learning: During the observational learning intervention, participants will learn the experience of analgesia in another person via a video. Participants will learn the analgesia nature of the placebo cream and the neutral nature of the control cream.
016EG000
Group 2Arginine Vasopressin
Under direction of a research team member, participants will self-administer intranasal vasopressin shortly before beginning the fMRI experiment. The of AVP will be 40IU. The quantity per unit (1 mL) of Arg8-vasopressin synthetic, manufactured by Polypeptide Group Inc. (http://www.polypeptide.com) was 0.323 mg. This amount was diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride (B. Broun Medical Inc.).~A random allocation sequence will be independently generated by the UM Pharmacy. The Principal investigator will call for each experiment. Participants will be first stratified for sex and then randomized to saline (0.4 mL) or vasopressin (40 IU) group, respectively.~Arginine vasopressin: Intranasal vasopressin will be administered shortly before the fMRI experiment.~Observational learning: During the observational learning intervention, participants will learn the experience of analgesia in another person via a video. Participants will learn the analgesia nature of the placebo cream and the neutral nature of the control cream.
