Does ASMR release dopamine?

It is not clear if ASMR directly releases dopamine, but it may be indirectly responsible for increases in dopamine levels.

ASMR has been shown to trigger the release of oxytocin, a hormone that can promote feelings of happiness and relaxation.

Oxytocin has been linked with increases in dopamine levels, so it is possible that ASMR indirectly leads to increases in dopamine. However, more research is needed to confirm this connection.
