Assessment of Clinical Global Impression-Severity of Illness

The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) is a clinician rated measure of illness severity, improvement, and efficacy of treatment. The CGI-I is a 7 point scale that requires the clinician to assess how much the patient's illness has improved or worsened relative to a baseline state at the beginning of the intervention. The score ranges from 1-7. CGI Improvement scale: 1=very much improved; 2=Much improved; 3=Minimally improved; 4=No change; 5=Minimally worse; 6=Much worse; 7=Very much worse.

Assessment of Patient Global Impression of Change

The self-report measure Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) reflects a patient's belief about the efficacy of treatment. PGIC is a 7 point scale depicting a patient's rating of overall improvement. The score ranges from 1-7. Patients rate their change as "1=very much improved ," "2=much improved," "3=minimally improved," "4=no change," "5=minimally worse," "6=much worse," or "7=very much worse)."

Gut Microbiota-Relative Abundance of Bifidobacterium Faecale

Collect the DNA of fecal flora to test the diversity and abundance of gut microbiota as well as short chain fatty acids in Stool samples. The 16S rRNA gene amplicons will be prepared following the Illumina protocol for preparing the 16S metagenomic sequencing library. Values represent percentages and range from 0 to 100%, with higher values indicating a higher relative abundance of the target bacterium in the gut microbiota

MRI T1
