First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving a special fat called DHA early to very premature babies who are small at birth can help their heads grow better. About 152 babies will receive either DHA or a placebo to see if it improves head size without adding too much body fat. The goal is to find a simple way to support brain development in these fragile infants.
