Brief Summary

The microbiota plays a vital role in the two-way communication between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system (CNS), articulated as the microbiota-intestine-brain axis. This function provides sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship between numerous neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia. Besides, the microbiota modulation through the dietary pattern is related to the improvement of the physical and psychopathological health of patients. In this sense, the use of psychobiotics (prebiotics and probiotics with nutraceutical action) highlights. This research will be aimed to test the efficacy of prebiotic dietary modulation in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, attending to the impact in nutritional and cardio-metabolic conditions. In this sense, two-arms, double-blind, randomized in balanced blocks clinical trial of six months of intervention, will be developed in a group of 50 individuals (25 for the intervention group (IG) and 25 for the control group). First, an initial group session will be held to present the purpose of the research, as well as each of the relevant aspects during its development. Similarly, certain focus groups will be established periodically to redefine and guide the improvement of the development of the investigation, ensuring adequate compliance with the study after the implementation of the diet and nutrition education program. The dietary education will be designed and supervised by qualified personnel with recognized competencies for this type of intervention (nurses and dietitians). The CG will be made up of those participants who receive conventional dietary advice individually in serial consultations. On the other hand, in the IG, this intervention will be characterized by the establishment of an individual program of dietetic-nutritional education with high prebiotic and probiotic content. During the development of the study, data will be collected on the psychopathological state (PANSS and PSP scales), and blood test (hemogram, lipid profile, etc.). Measures will be taken at the beginning (basal), at three and six months. The estimation of intestinal microbiota and the usual nutritional pattern will also be assessed at the beginning and six months, using a stool test and a validated Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), respectively. To evaluate the degree of adherence, participants in the IG will fill a specific weekly record of the main dishes/food consumed. At least, anthropometric parameters will also be analyzed monthly (BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, abdominal perimeter).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (33)

  • Changes in Clinical Efficacy of Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Personal and Social Functioning Scale (categorized PSP) outcome: discrete. Scoring interval (range 10 points: 0-100) in relation to the degree of dysfunction of the areas: self-care, personal and social relationships, socially functional activities (work/study), disturbing and aggressive behaviour. To establish the final decimal point of this interval, 10 functional aspects must be scored (YES: 1 point, NO: 0 points). Finally, the higher the score, the better the patient's functional level.

    Basal, three and six months respectively

  • Changes in Clinical Efficacy of Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Scale for Positive and Negative Schizophrenia Syndrome (categorized PANSS): discrete. It provides four dimensional scores: Positive syndrome, Negative syndrome, Compound scale, General psychopathology. The score on the positive (PANSS-P) is obtained by adding up the scores of each item. The scores will therefore range from 7 to 49 for the positive scale.. There are no cut-off points for the direct scores obtained, but these are transformed by means of a conversion table into percentiles. Futhermore, PANSS also provides categorical information, indicating whether the schizophrenic disorder is positive, negative or mixed.

    Basal, three and six months respectively

  • Changes in Clinical Efficacy of Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Scale for Positive and Negative Schizophrenia Syndrome (categorized PANSS): discrete. It provides four dimensional scores: Positive syndrome, Negative syndrome, Compound scale, General psychopathology. The score on the negative (PANSS-N) is obtained by adding up the scores of each item. The scores will therefore range from 7 to 49 for the negative scale.. There are no cut-off points for the direct scores obtained, but these are transformed by means of a conversion table into percentiles. Futhermore, PANSS also provides categorical information, indicating whether the schizophrenic disorder is positive, negative or mixed.

    Basal, three and six months respectively

  • Changes in Clinical Efficacy of Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Scale for Positive and Negative Schizophrenia Syndrome (categorized PANSS): discrete. It provides four dimensional scores: Positive syndrome, Negative syndrome, Compound scale, General psychopathology. The score on the general psychopathology (PANSS-PG) scale is obtained by adding up the scores of each item. The scores will therefore rangd from 16 to 112 for the general psychopathology. There are no cut-off points for the direct scores obtained, but these are transformed by means of a conversion table into percentiles. Futhermore, PANSS also provides categorical information, indicating whether the schizophrenic disorder is positive, negative or mixed.

    Basal, three and six months respectively

  • Changes in Clinical Efficacy of Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Scale for Positive and Negative Schizophrenia Syndrome (categorized PANSS): discrete. It provides four dimensional scores: Positive syndrome, Negative syndrome, Compound scale, General psychopathology. The score on the composite scale (PANNS-C) is obtained by subtracting the score on the negative scale from the score on the positive scale. This scale can have positive or negative valence, ranging from -42 to + 42. There are no cut-off points for the direct scores obtained, but these are transformed by means of a conversion table into percentiles. Futhermore, PANSS also provides categorical information, indicating whether the schizophrenic disorder is positive, negative or mixed.

    Basal, three and six months respectively

  • Changes in Adherence to the Proposed Dietary Pattern in 6 Months of Intervention

    \-- Food Consumption Frequency Questionnaire (CFCA) result: continuous. For the proper analysis of this document, it is necessary to transform the answers obtained from the Food Consumption Frequency Questionnaire -FCA- into the number of times each item was consumed per week and into the number of times it was consumed per day. The g/day was then calculated by multiplying the frequencies of consumption of each item by the weight of the usual consumption ration of each item (Weight of Ration of Items table -PRI-). Finally, the energy and nutritional value was calculated by applying the Adapted Food Composition table (AFC): first the consumption in the population of all the foods included in each item was added; then, the proportion of this total provided by each of these foods was calculated

Study Arms (2)

Conventional Dietary Advice

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The control group will consist of participants diagnosed on the schizophrenic spectrum who will receive conventional dietary counseling (n=25) on an individual basis. In the control group, data will be collected on the psychopathological state (PANSS and PSP scales), and blood analysis (hemogram, lipid profile, etc.). The measurements will be taken at the beginning (basal), at three and six months. The estimation of the intestinal microbiota and the usual nutritional pattern will also be evaluated at the beginning and at six months, using a stool test and a validated food frequency questionnaire, respectively. To assess the degree of adherence, GI participants will fill in a specific weekly record of the main dishes/foods consumed. At least, anthropometric parameters will also be analysed monthly (BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, abdominal perimeter).

Behavioral: Conventional Dietary Advice

Prebiotic/Probiotic Dietary Modulation

EXPERIMENTAL

In the intervention group (n=25), individual dietary counseling will be established through intensive nutritional counseling to provide a high prebiotic and probiotic food pattern. In the experimental group, data will be collected on psychopathological status (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale -PANSS- and Personal and Social Functioning Scale -PSP-), and blood tests (haemogram, lipid profile, etc.). The measurements will be taken at the beginning (basal), at three and six months. The estimation of the intestinal microbiota and the usual nutritional pattern will also be evaluated at the beginning and at six months, using a stool test and a validated food frequency questionnaire, respectively. To assess the degree of adherence, GI participants will fill in a specific weekly record of the main dishes/foods consumed.

Model Details: Two-arm, double-blind, randomized clinical trial in balanced blocks of six months of intervention will be developed in a group of 50 individuals (25 for the intervention group -IG-,25 for the control group -CG-). The GC will receive conventional dietary advice on an individual basis. In the IG, an individual diet-nutrition education program with high prebiotic and probiotic content will be established. Data on psychopathological status (PANSS and PSP scales), and blood tests (haemogram, lipid profile, etc.),at the beginning, after three and six months. The estimate of intestinal microbiota and the usual nutritional pattern will be assessed at baseline and at six months, using a stool test and a validated food frequency questionnaire, respectively. To assess the degree of adherence, IG participants will fill in a specific weekly record of the main dishes/foods consumed. Anthropometric parameters will be analysed monthly (BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, abdominal perimeter).
