Maternal Choline Supplementation and Cannabis Use During Pregnancy: Impact on Early Brain Development (NCT06379971)
Clinical Trial of Maternal Choline Supplements to Mitigate Effects of Prenatal Cannabis Exposure on Early Brain Development
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this study is to determine if providing a nutritional supplement, phosphatidylcholine, to pregnant women who have used cannabis products during the current pregnancy improves the offspring\'s brain-related development during the first 3 months. Participating pregnant women will receive either phosphatidylcholine or a placebo from approximately 16 weeks gestation through birth. The primary outcomes are the child\'s brain responses to sound at 4 weeks corrected age and infant behaviors at 3 months corrected age as reported by the primary caregiver. Secondary outcomes include motor, socio-emotional, language and cognitive development.
