Neuroprotective Effect of (Nano PSO), in Patients Who Used to Consume Psychoactive Substances

Addiction problems to psychoactive substances are becoming more frequent, which implies a serious health problem, with social, family and work repercussions. Participants with chronic consumption present important degeneration processes mediated by Neuroinflammation, oxidative stress and excitotoxicity. At the moment there is no effective treatment that can reduce the damage. The effectiveness of Omega 5 has been demonstrated in different disorders of the nervous system; However, very little has been elucidated about the mechanisms of regulation and activation in consumer patients. Omega 5 Nano-PSO has an important role in mechanisms of cell survival in different pathological events. In this project aims to explain the possible mechanisms underlying the morphological changes and pathologies associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, since it could be a useful strategy to counteract the effects of substances of abuse on brain cells. Omega 5 (Nano PSO) will modify the levels of neurotrophic factors through the decrease in inflammation and reactive oxygen species in patient-consumers of substances, reducing neuronal death and therefore cognitive deterioration. Methodological design Type of study: Clinical trial, randomized controlled, double blind. Research Headquarters: This work will be carried out at the University Center for Health Science with the participation of the "My family is waiting for me" rehabilitation centers. Study Period: 2 years
