  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of 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 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: 60 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 synbiotic (n=30) or placebo (n=30). Synbiotic and placebos capsules are similar in shape and size. Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 8 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and end of the intervention: 8 weeks. Outcomes: Inflammatory factors (primary outcomes), markers of insulin metabolism, lipid profiles and biomarkers of oxidative stress (secondry outcomes) will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل یاری 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 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: 60 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 یا مکمل سین بیوتیک (30=n) یا پلاسبو (30=n) تقسیم خواهند شد. کپسول های مکمل سین بیوتیک و پلاسبو از نظر شکل و اندازه مشابه هستند. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 8 هفته بعد از مداخله از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 8 هفته. پيامدها: فاکتورهای التهابی (پیامدهای اولیه)، مارکرهای متابولیسم انسولین، پروفایل های لیپیدی و بیومارکرهای استرس اکسیداتیو (پیامدهای ثانویه) در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.
