  • Protocol summary

    Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of synbiotic supplementation on biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with gestational diabetes. Study design: Parallel double-blind (both patients and researchers) clinical trial. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers. Inclusion criteria: Patients with gestational diabetes aged 18 to 40 years. Exclusion criteria: Unwillingness to cooperate. Population and sample size: Among patients with gestational diabetes referred to Akbarabadi Clinic affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences, 60 patients will be selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Intervention: Patients will be assigned into two groups to receive synbiotic (n=30) or placebo (n=30) per day. Synbiotic and placebos capsules are similar in shape and size. Fasting blood samples will be taken at baseline and 6 weeks after the intervention. At the beginning and end of the intervention: 6 weeks. Outcomes: Biomarkeres of inflammation and oxidative stress will be quantified at study baseline and end-of-trial.

    هدف: هدف این مطالعه تعیین اثرات مکمل یاری سین بیوتیک بر بیومارکرهای التهاب و استرس اکسیداتیو در بیماران مبتلا به دیابت بارداری است. طراحي انجام مطالعه: کارآزمایی بالینی دو سوکور (هم بیماران و هم محققان) موازی. تصادفی سازی با استفاده ازجدول اعداد تصادفی ایجاد شده توسط کامپیوتر انجام خواهد شد. معیار ورود به مطالعه: بیماران مبتلا به دیابت بارداری در محدوده سنی 18 تا 40 سال. معیار خروج از مطالعه: عدم تمایل به همکاری. حجم نمونه و جمعیت مورد مطالعه: از بین بیماران مبتلا به دیابت بارداری ارجاع شده به کلینیک اکبرآبادی وابسته به دانشگاه علوم پزشکی ایران، 60 بیمار بر اساس معیار های ورود و خروج از مطالعه انتخاب خواهند شد. مداخله مورد مطالعه: بیماران به دو گروه برای دریافت سین بیوتیک (30=n) یا پلاسبو (30=n) روزانه اختصاص داده خواهند شد. کپسول های سین بیوتیک و پلاسبو از نظر شکل و اندازه مشابه هستند. نمونه خون ناشتا در ابتدای مطالعه و 6 هفته بعد از مداخله از بیماران گرفته خواهد شد. زمان مداخله: 6 هفته. پيامدها: بیومارکرهای التهاب و استرس اکسیداتیو در ابتدا و انتهای مداخله اندازه گیری خواهد شد.

    To decrease potential confounding effects, all participants according to balanced blocked randomisation will be randomly allocated into two treatment groups to take either supplement or placebo. Randomization will be done by the use of Stat Trek software.

    برای کاهش اثرات مخدوش کنندگی بالقوه، همه شرکت کنندگان بر اساس تصادفی سازی بلوکی بالانس شده به دو گروه برای دریافت مکمل یاری یا پلاسبو تخصیص داده می شوند. تصادفی سازی با استفاده از نرم افزار Stat Trek انجام می شود.

    Randomization and allocation will be concealed from the researchers and participants until the final analyses are completed. Another person at the Clinic who is not involved in the trial and not aware of random sequences will allocate the numbered bottles of capsules to participants. Supplements and placebo are in the same packaging at the pharmaceutical company. Only the code is written on the packages. Patients and researcher do not know the type of drug and after analyzing the data, packet codes are decoded.

    تصادفی سازی و تخصیص تصادفی از محققان و شرکت کنندگان در مطالعه تا زمان تکمیل آنالیز آماری پنهان خواهد ماند. فرد دیگری در کلینیک که در این کارآزمایی بالینی نقشی ندارد و از تخصیص تصادفی آگاه نیست، بطری های شماره گذاری شده کپسول ها را به شرکت کنندگان تخصیص خواهد داد. مکمل ها و پلاسبو در شرکت داروسازی در بسته بندی های مشابه قرار می گیرند و بر روی آنها فقط کد گذاشته می شود. بیمار و محقق از نوع مداخله بی خبرند و بعد از آنالیز داده ها، کدهای بسته ها رمز گشایی میشود.
