Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
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

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
It has been suggested that Omega 5 could modify the levels of neurotrophic factors such as BDNF and VEGF, which might contribute to the protection of brain cells and the improvement of cognitive status in substance abuse patients. In addition, it has been mentioned that Omega 5 acts through the reduction of inflammation and reactive oxygen species, which could reduce neuronal death and prevent cognitive deterioration in these patients.
In summary, Omega 5 (Nano PSO) seems to play an important role in protecting the brain cells of patients who consume psychoactive substances by acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, modulating neurotrophic factors and promoting cell survival in a brain environment affected by substance consumption.
It has been investigated that Omega 5 (Nano PSO) exerts its beneficial effects through various regulation and activation mechanisms in patients who consume psychoactive substances:
1. Modulation of neurotrophic factors: It has been suggested that Omega 5 can modify the levels of neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients who consume psychoactive substances. These factors play a crucial role in the neuroprotection, and its modulation by Omega 5 could contribute to the improvement of cognitive status and cell survival in these patients.
2. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action: Omega 5 has been shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in several pathologies of the nervous system. In patients who consume psychoactive substances, who have high levels of neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, Omega 5 can help reduce damage to neuronal and glial cells, promoting cell survival and preserving a homeostatic brain environment.
3. Protection against oxidative stress: It has been suggested that Omega 5 may be useful to reduce the damage caused by oxidative stress at the brain level in substance abuse patients. By acting as an antioxidant, Omega 5 could counteract the negative effects of oxidative stress on brain cells and contribute to neuronal protection.

Nano-PSO, Pomegranate seed oil (omega-5)
During the intervention, Nano-PSO dietary supplement will be administered to the participants in the assigned group.
Participants will be followed before and after treatment to assess the effects of Nano-PSO on cognitive status, serum concentrations of trophic factors, and other relevant parameters . This randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial design allows for a rigorous evaluation of the potential benefits of Nano-PSO in patients with substance use disorders. The study aims to provide valuable insights into the neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties of Nano-PSO in this population.
PLACEBO
Placebo physically identical to Nano-PSO capsules Soft gelatin capsules 640 mg edible oil for PLACEBO being the following information: oil edible, oval shape, 640 mg
PLACEBO
In this arm of the study the participants will receive a placebo as a control treatment . The placebo is essential in clinical trials to compare the effects of the active intervention (Nano-PSO) with those of an inert substance.
