Official title
Clinical Trial to Analyze the Effectiveness of a Natural Compound on Chronic Immune-mediated Inflammatory Status in Subjects Who Have Had SARS-CoV-2 Infection.
Overview
A controlled, randomized clinical trial is proposed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the experimental product in controlling hepato-pulmonary inflammation and neurovascular encephalic inflammation, which may constitute the etiopathogenic basis of persistent COVID. In addition, an individualized training program will be implemented for each participant in order to improve chronic symptoms and, consequently, their quality of life.
Detailed description
Randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial with four parallel arms based on the product consumed (placebo or experimental product) and the performance of physical exercise (exercise or no exercise), designed to analyze the effectiveness of the product under investigation in reducing chronic immune-mediated inflammatory status in subjects who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection and present persistent symptoms 3 months after the onset of the infectious process.
The efficacy of the experimental product, consumed over a period of 4 months, will be determined in terms of reducing chronic inflammation and improving the quality of life of people suffering from this condition.
Clinical manifestations and chronic symptoms, quality of life, response to the individualized physical exercise program, and product safety will be taken into account.
Interventions
- Dietary supplement Experimental Product
Supplement consisting of orange extract, apigenin, luteolin, yerba mate extract, grapefruit extract, and olive leaf extract. - Dietary supplement Control placebo
Product with identical characteristics to the experimental product. - Other Physical exercise
During the study, subjects will have to develop a training program. A multicomponent program will be carried out during the 4 months of product consumption. The sessions will last 60 minutes and will be held 2-3 times per week. - Other No Physical Exercise
During the study, subjects will only consume the product assigned to them in the randomization.
Primary outcome measures
- Immunoinflammatory profile [Time frame: Blood samples will be taken twice, once at baseline, at the beginning of the trial and once at the end after 120 days of product intake.]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Clinical signs [Time frame: It will be recorded twice, before starting the consumption of the product and before the end of consumption (120 days)]
- Short Form 12 Health Survey [Time frame: It will be measured twice, once at baseline and at the end of the study after 120 days of consumption.]
- Sleep quality [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Sleep efficiency [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Fatigue [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Dyspnea [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Depression [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Anxiety [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Stress level [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- Cardiorespiratory fitness. [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
- The Rate of Force Development [Time frame: Progress will be measured after 120 days of consumption.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
