NCT ID NCT00621634

First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026

Summary

This study aimed to see if high-dose DHA (an omega-3 fatty acid) could reduce involuntary movements in people with tardive dyskinesia, a side effect of long-term antipsychotic medication. It planned to enroll 40 adults aged 30-75 who were stable on antipsychotics. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
