Omega-3 Supplementation for Smell Dysfunction

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Clinical Trial Summary

Omega-3 supplementation has been shown to have neuroprotective and potentially anti-inflammatory properties in both central and peripheral nerve injuries. The investigators are studying to see if omega-3 supplementation will affect olfactory (smell) function in patients with olfactory dysfunction following endoscopic removal of pituitary tumors.
