Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Aim. To provide preliminary data about the efficacy of omega-3FA in the treatment of adolescent MDD. To address this aim, a 10-week double blind, placebo-controlled study of omega-3FA, using a flexible dose titration is proposed. Primary outcome measures will be: (1) change in the total score of the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) at the end of treatment (2) response rate on the Clinical Global Improvement scale (CGI) at the end of 10-week treatment. Hypothesis. Omega-3FA treatment in adolescents with MDD will result in a significant reduction of CDRS-R total scores, and a significantly higher improvement rate on the CGI at the end of treatment compared to placebo.
