One of the goals of all pharmacological interventions aimed to increase the survival rate of patients with alcohol-dependent oropharyngeal cancers is to decrease alcohol use. Oxytocin is an alternative therapy for craving and alcohol management. However, the effectiveness of oxytocin on the severity of alcohol dependence has not been evaluated. In an ABABC study with a 6-month follow-up, during February 2015 to June 2016, a 67-year-old man with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma with comorbidity of alcohol dependence syndrome and anhedonia was selected by Respondent-Driven sampling (RDS). The patient was treated with intranasal oxytocin in two six-week stages (B 1 and B 2 ) and received placebo only in the other two stages (A 1 and A 2 ), and the follow-up results were evaluated at stage C. The data were analyzed by Generalized Estimation Equation (GEE) and Repeated Measures Correlation (rmcorr). Primary outcomes showed that addiction severity Index (ASI) was significantly reduced in five domains of medical status, occupational status, alcohol consumption, family status, and mental status (all p 's &lt; 0.05). There was no significant effect of treatment on legal status (all p 's &gt; 0.05). Also, social ( p &lt; 0.05) and physical ( p &lt; 0.01) anhedonia syndrome decreased in the treatment stages. However, these changes did not persist until the 6-month follow-up (all p 's &gt; 0.05). Secondary outcomes showed that there was a significant direct relationship between the severity of addiction and anhedonia (r mcorr = 0.01). The findings of this study showed that the reduction of oxytocin-induced neurotoxic symptoms led to a decrease in the severity of addiction and an improvement in the anhedonia syndrome.
