Official title
Evaluation of Omega-3 Fatty Acids as a Treatment-adjunct in Adolescent Patients With Major Depressive Disorder Exhibiting Partial Response to SSRI Medications: An Open-label Neuroimaging Trial
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The primary objective of the study was to determine the effects of 10-week adjunctive supplementation with 2 doses of LCn-3 fatty acids (fish oil) on cortical functional activity and biochemistry in adolescents with MDD. The primary prediction was that LCn-3 fatty acid supplementation would dose-dependently increase prefrontal cortical functional activation during sustained attention and increase regional biochemical indices of cortical metabolism and integrity concentrations in association with reductions in depressive symptoms.
