About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Omega 3 Supplementation on Neurological Recovery , Lipid Profile and Antioxidant Enzymes and Hormones After Chronic Spinal Cord Injury.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of omega 3 fatty acid on neurological recovery, lipid profile and Antioxidant system in patients with spinal cord injury. One hundred spinal cord injured patients who come to clinic of spinal injury repair research center selected. Then the patients will receive two supplements capsules of omega 3 (600 mg) in the intervention group and placebo in the control group. Primary outcome measures are professionals evaluation of neurological function by using :

  • ASIA scale for sensory and motor function
  • FIM scale for Functional potential
  • FAM
  • SF_36 for quality of life

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing w3 supplement in SCI in people with Lipid Metabolism Disorders and Peroxidase; Defect, run by Tehran University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Neurological recovery,metabolic profile and Antioxidant profile evaluation (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2012.
