Determining the effect of omega-3 on the improvement of urinary infection symptoms
Design
The present study is a clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized (using block randomization), phase 3 on 100 patients.
Settings and conduct
In this double-blind randomization clinical trial, children with a definite diagnosis of urinary tract infection referred to Amirkabir Arak Hospital will be divided into two identical omega-3 groups by block randomization. In this study, the participants (by placebo pills) and the outcome assessor (by patient coding) will be blinded. In each group, drug treatment will be prescribed daily for 10 days. Finally, two groups will be evaluated in terms of study results.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: children aged 4-18 years with urinary tract infection; Consent to participate in the study
Exclusion Criteria: existence of underlying kidney and liver disease; Sensitivity to omega-3
Intervention groups
Omega-3 group: In addition to receiving standard treatment (antibiotic suitable for symptoms, age and gender), children will receive mercury-free Omega-3 capsules produced by Zahrawi company for 10 days.
Control group: In this group, children will receive only the standard treatment for 10 days.

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The participants will be assigned to two intervention and control groups based on the randomization sequence that will be generated in advance. This sequence is unpredictable and its arrangement is completely random. Block randomization method with 8 blocks will be used to allocate the samples. In this way, using the site www.sealedenvelope.com, blocks of 8 letters A and B are randomly generated based on the sample size. The order of placement of letters A and B in each block from the first block to the last block is considered as a randomization sequence. The production of these blocks and their random sequence is completely done by this site and the researcher does not know how they are sequenced.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
This study is double blind. In this way, the intervention group will receive omega-3 along with routine treatment for urinary infection, while the placebo group will receive a similar placebo instead of omega-3. Therefore, the participants do not know the type of medicine received. On the other hand, prescribing the drugs is the responsibility of the supervisor, and the student, who evaluates the information, does not know about the grouping.
