  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of probiotic and synbiotic supplementation on metabolic profiles in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) randomized controlled clinical trial. Random assignment will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Inclusion criteria: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis, higher than 5 years of their disease and aged 25 to 75 years will be included in this study. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness to cooperate will be excluded in the study. Population and sample size: 120 patients with rheumatoid arthritis of eligible and referred to Naghavi Clinic affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected. Intervention: Patients will be assigned to receive either probiotic supplements (intervention group: n=30), probiotic placebo (control group: n=30), synbiotic supplements (intervention group: n=30) or synbiotic placebo (control group: n=30). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 8-wk intervention. Start and end date of intervention: 2 months. Outcomes: Metabolic profiles will be meseaured at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل یاری پروبیوتیک و سین بیوتیک بر پروفایل های متابولیک در بیماران مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید است. طراحي انجام مطالعه: تصادفي کارآزمایی بالینی دو سوکور (هم بیماران و هم محققان) موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد. معیار ورود به مطالعه: بیماران مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید، بیشتر از 5 سال از سابقه بیماری آن ها و در محدوده سنی 25 تا 75 سال وارد مطالعه خواهند شد. معیار خروج از مطالعه: عدم تمایل به همکاری از مطالعه خارج خواهند شد. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: 120 بیمار مبتلا به آرتریت روماتوئید واجد شرایط و ارجاع شده به کلینیک نقوی وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی کاشان، کاشان، ایران در مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: بیماران برای دریافت مکمل پروبیوتیک (گروه مداخله:30=n)، پلاسبو پروبیوتیک (گروه کنترل: 30=n)، سین بیوتیک (گروه مداخله:30=n) یا پلاسبو سین بیوتیک (گروه کنترل: 30=n) تقسیم خواهند شد. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 8 هفته بعد از مداخله از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 2 ماه. پيامدها: پروفایل های متابولیک در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.

Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of probiotic supplementation on metabolic profiles in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Design
Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) randomized controlled clinical trial. Random assignment will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers.
Settings and conduct
Population and sample size: 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis of eligible and referred to internal medicine and rheumatology affiliated to Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Kashan, Iran in the study will be selected.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and aged 25 to 70 years. Exclusion criteria: Chronic renal failure, renal tubular acidosis or pancreatitis, patients likely to be started on biological agents, pregnant or lactating women, patients who are unable to read numbers and/or unable to mark the pain scale, patients unlikely to come for follow-up in the following 3 months.
Intervention groups
Intervention: Patients will be assigned to receive either probiotic supplements (intervention group: n=30), placebo (control group: n=30). Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and after 8-wk intervention. Start and end date of intervention: 2 months.
Main outcome variables
