Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acid on Cortical Function in ADHD

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The study hypothesis is that DHA is more effective than placebo in increasing brain activation and reducing symptoms in psychostimulant-free children with ADHD.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to determine the effects of 10-week dietary supplementation with the long-chain omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or placebo on prefrontal cortical structural and functional connectivity using several neuroimaging techniques: DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging), 1H MRS(Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy), and fMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) in psychostimulant-free children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is postulated that DHA supplements will increase brain activation and reduce ADHD symptomatology. ;
