First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a plant-based omega-3 supplement from flaxseed can reduce pain and improve quality of life in children with sickle cell disease. About 30 children aged 5-18 will take flaxseed and report their pain levels. The goal is to see if this natural option is more acceptable and effective than fish oil for managing inflammation-driven pain.
