Scientific title | Pilot study to investigate dietary supplementation of elderly COPD patients with an oral nutritional supplement enriched with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and its effect on respiratory function, appetite and weight |
Study objectives | Does the addition of fish oil to a complete nutritional supplement make supplementation more effective? i.e. do patients gain more weight, improve their lung function and exercise tolerance and report improved appetite when compared to patients using supplements without fish oils? |
Ethics approval(s) | Not provided at time of registration |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) |
Intervention | Randomised controlled trial |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | 1. Improved lung function 2. Decreased sytokine responses. Fish oils have been used with promising results in other wasting conditions such as HIV, cancer and sepsis. There are no published trials investigating the possible benefits of fish oil supplementation in COPD patients and this proposal aims to do this. |
