Nutritional Stimulation of Growth in Children With Short Stature

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Short stature is a frequent reason for referral to a pediatric endocrinology clinic. Short stature is especially prevalent among those with failure to thrive (whose weight is significantly below the average weight of his/her peers). The growth hormone has limited efficacy for medical treatment of short stature when the cause of short stature is not growth hormone deficiency. This study will investigate the effect of 6 months of nutritional supplement (essential amino acids) compared to placebo in the linear growth of short children who have not yet reached puberty.
