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 with schizophrenia and tardive dyskinesia, giving them DHA or placebo for 12 weeks. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
