Обзор

The benefits of these nutraceuticals extend beyond mere cognitive enhancement. Improved mental focus can lead to increased productivity and efficiency in both personal and professional settings.

This can translate to better performance at work, as well as improved ability to manage daily tasks and responsibilities.

Подробное описание

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-arm clinical trial of De-Stress and Focus Capsule in the Management of Stress, Mental Alertness, Fatigue, and Anxiety

In this study, more than 60 participants will be enrolled and randomized to either one of the following groups: Group A: De-Stress and Focus Capsules-U001, Group B: De-Stress and Focus Capsules-I001, Group C: Placebo Capsules 001 in 1:1:1 ratio (20 patients in each group). The study duration is 60 days. The efficacy of the investigational products will be compared between the groups.

Concomitant diseases/medication assessment will be performed on screening.

Assessment of perceived stress scale (PSS) score, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale score, Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT), Trail Making Test (TMT) score, digit span memory test - forward and backward for attention and working memory assessment (most extended sequence), fatigue severity scale (FSS) score, mental chatter 5-point scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale for daytime sleepiness, energy levels by using energy audit diary and adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) score will be done at screening, day 30 and day 60.

Assessment of serum cortisol levels will be done at screening, day 15 and day 60.

Assessment of COPE Questionnaire (a. Positive Subscale b. Denial Subscale) score, STAI (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory) score, and Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire score (a. Total Mood Disturbance b. Depression) will be done at screening and day 60.

Assessment of alertness, orientation, executive control functioning, and executive/arousal vigilance will be assessed using ANTI-Vea-UGR computerized test will be done at 0 hr, 1hr, 4 hr, and 8 hr after dosing on day 1, and day 60 (5 participants from each group i.e, total 15 participants).

Changes in vital sign parameters will be assessed from screening to the end of the study (Day 60). Assessment of changes in complete blood count, liver function test, and kidney function test will be done at screening and end of the study (Day 60). Safety of the investigational treatment in terms of adverse events (AEs), and serious adverse events (SAEs) from screening to end of the study ( Day 60). Treatment compliance and tolerability will be assessed from baseline to the end of the study (Day 60).
