NCT05975866

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate The effects of an anti-inflammatory diet with or without curcumin supplementation on anthropometric measurements, concentrations of thyroid hormones, anti-TPO, and systemic inflammation in plasma and NFK-B in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with Hashimoto. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. 1.Does prescribing an anti-inflammatory diet with or without curcumin supplementation significantly affect the changes in anthropometric measurements (weight, body mass index, BMI, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio) in patients with Hashimoto's disease?
  2. 2.Does prescribing an anti-inflammatory diet with or without curcumin supplementation significantly affect the changes in the serum concentration of thyroid hormones (T3, T4, TSH) in patients with Hashimoto's disease?
  3. 3.Does prescribing an anti-inflammatory diet with or without curcumin supplementation significantly affect the change of Anti-TPO concentration in patients with Hashimoto's disease?
  4. 4.Does prescribing an anti-inflammatory diet with or without curcumin supplementation significantly affect the changes in systemic inflammation indicators (hs-CRP, IL-6) in plasma and NF-κB in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with Hashimoto's disease?

EXPERIMENTAL

Implementation of an anti-inflammatory diet along with the daily consumption of three 500 mg curcumin capsules along with the main meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Dietary Supplement: curcuminBehavioral: Anti-inflammatory diet

Group receiving anti-inflammatory regimen with curcumin placebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Implementation of an anti-inflammatory diet along with the daily consumption of three 500 mg placebo capsules of curcumin (microcrystalline cellulose) and the main meals of breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Behavioral: Anti-inflammatory diet

Interventions

curcuminDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Daily consumption of three 500 mg curcumin capsules with breakfast, lunch, and dinner

The group receiving anti-inflammatory diet with curcumin supplement

The anti-inflammatory diet will be personalized based on each person's calorie intake in five meals. Achieving the goals of an anti-inflammatory diet by consuming only one type of food or following its principles in one meal is impossible and must be implemented consistently and regularly in a meal plan.

Masking Details
Before the start of the study, the set of cans containing the relevant capsules will be coded as A and B by someone other than the researcher so that the researcher does not know the type of capsule received by the patients. The cans containing the relevant capsules will be delivered to the patients on a monthly basis, and they will be asked to take one tablet with cold water every day (morning, noon, and night with the main meals). Also, the curcumin placebo will be similar to the curcumin supplement in terms of size, shape, color, appearance, smell, and drug distribution cans.

Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: The study subjects are Hashimoto's patients who, if they wish to participate in this research, a written consent form will be obtained from the patients at the beginning of the study. The patients will be classified according to age and sex. Then, using Stratified Block Randomization, patients will be placed in one of two intervention or placebo groups. The intervention will last 12 weeks, and the anti-inflammatory diet will be personalized based on each person's calorie intake. Patients will be asked to take one tablet with cold water daily (morning, noon, and night with the main meals). Also, the curcumin placebo in size, shape, color, appearance, smell, and dispensing cans of the drug will be similar to the curcumin supplement.
