Graphs show oxytocin's effect on wound healing with physical intimacy. 'A' illustrates interaction with affectionate touch, while 'B' shows interaction with sexual activity, comparing placebo to oxytocin. Wound severity decreases from time point T2 to T3.
RCT: Daily oxytocin administration combined with positive physical intimacy was linked to improved wound healing and reduced cortisol; oxytocin alone or positive interactions without physical intimacy did not enhance healing.
