Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Changes in the total score of HAMD-17 on the Hamilton Depression Scale before and after treatment; | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Response rate of treatment Effectiveness = =50% reduction in HMAD score or =50% reduction in MADRS score Reduction rate =[(baseline score minus end point score)/baseline score]×100%;Clinical RESPONSE RATE Clinical remission = HAMD-17=7 or MADRS total score =12 at the end of treatment;Reduction rates of MADRS and HAMD17 scores;Changes in HAMD-17 in each group of subjects after 8 weeks of treatment;Changes or scores of the Clinical Global Impression Scale (CGI-S, CGI-I) scores in each group of subjects after 8 weeks of treatment;The fecal microbiome; Changes in gut microbial composition, abundance, and substance T at baseline at 2 and 4 to 8 weeks after intervention;Serum substance T; LC/MS mass spectrometry was used to detect the changes in serum substance T levels from baseline at 2 weeks, 4 weeks to 8 weeks after intervention; | — |
