Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Assess the change in scores on the gastrointestinal symptom rating scale; it is expected to find an absence of, or a low level of, gastrointestinal symptoms after use of the probiotic, confirming its safety.;Assess the frequency of and adverse events occurring during the study ;Evaluate changes in anthropometric data such as weight and Body mass index (BMI) comparing pre treatment and pos treatment results

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Assess changes in laboratory safety parameters (complete blood count, fasting glucose, fructosamine, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urea, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total cholesterol and fractions, and triglycerides) by comparing pre- and post-treatment values. It is expected to evaluate whether there were any parameter changes by comparing the active and placebo groups.;Assess the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), pain, neuropathic pain, and quality of life before and after treatment. It is expected to observe improvement in these symptoms and in the participant’s quality of life in the treatment group.
