Rapid Recovery: Gut Microbiome Correction for PTSD (RAPID RECOVERY)
Cohort Clinical Trials "Microbiome as a Factor Influencing Mental Health, Individualized Correction of Mental Health in Persons With Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder"
This cohort clinical trial (RAPID RECOVERY) investigates the role of gut microbiome in mental health and the effectiveness of personalized microbiome correction in individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study aims to:
- identify associations between gut microbiome composition, cognitive impairment, anxiety-depressive disorders, and PTSD;
- evaluate the impact of targeted microbiome correction using next-generation biotics (pharmabiotics) on recovery speed and neurological outcomes; 3 develop predictive models for PTSD risk using Data Science and Machine Learning approaches. Participants receive individually selected pharmabiotics based on their microbiome, immunological, and clinical profiles.
Outcomes include changes in PTSD symptom severity (PCL-5), anxiety and depression levels (HADS), cognitive function (MoCA), immunological parameters (lymphocyte subpopulations, cytokines, immunoglobulins), and gut microbiome composition (NGS). The study is conducted at Uzhhorod National University in collaboration with Uzhhorod City Multidisciplinary Hospital and Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University.

Detaljerad beskrivning
This is a prospective interventional cohort clinical trial (RAPID RECOVERY) conducted at Uzhhorod National University, Uzhhorod City Multidisciplinary Hospital, and Danylo Halytskyi Lviv National Medical University. The study enrolls approximately 140 participants aged 18-60 years with cognitive impairment, anxiety-depressive disorders, or PTSD in the context of neurological conditions (traumatic brain injury, neuropathic pain, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, chronic cerebral ischemia, spinal injury, mine-explosion trauma, hypertension, degenerative spinal diseases).
Intervention: Participants receive individually selected pharmabiotics (next-generation biotics) provided by Ediens LLC. The selection is based on baseline gut microbiome profiling (NGS), immunological phenotyping (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56/16, CD19, activation markers CD4/25/127, apoptosis receptors PD1R/PD1L on CD8, FASR/FASL on CD56, regulatory molecules CD38, TIM3), serum cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, IgG, IgE), and routine blood biochemistry (glucose, bilirubin, ALT, AST, creatinine, urea).
Procedures: Baseline assessment includes medical history, physical examination, cognitive function (MoCA), anxiety and depression (HADS), PTSD symptom severity (PCL-5 for military and civilian versions). Biological samples (blood, stool, saliva) are collected at baseline and after the pharmabiotic course. Stool is analyzed by next-generation sequencing (NGS) of 16S rRNA or metagenomics. Saliva is tested for secretory IgA.
Follow-up: After completing the pharmabiotic course, all clinical, biochemical, immunological, and microbiome assessments are repeated. Changes in cognitive, anxiety-depressive, and PTSD symptoms are evaluated using the same scales. Adverse events are documented and reported.
Data analysis: Statistical analysis includes descriptive and inferential statistics. Machine learning and data science methods will be applied to develop predictive models for PTSD risk and recovery trajectories, integrating microbiome, immunological, and clinical data.
