    Key Findings

    Omega-3 fatty acids did not significantly reduce total tic scores versus placebo over 20 weeks in children with Tourette's disorder, although tic-related impairment improved.

    Conclusions

    Well-designed negative trial: O3FA may help tic-related impairment but does not reduce tic severity.

    Supplements Studied
