Two bottles (600 ml/bottle) of sanitized mulberry juice are delivered to the patients of the experimental group 20 days before the next clinic visit, with instruction to consume 50 ml of juice diluted with drinking water at room temperature. A reminder of the next clinic visit for continuous treatment is attached.

Patients of the controlled group are informed of their allocation results along with a reminder of the next clinic visit. On the second visit at the 1st month, measurements of clinical symptoms and inflammation status are conducted. No mulberry juice is given to patients further on. All patients are evaluated again with the same assessment tools, as well as the immunology markers in their sera during the third visit.

Effects of Mulberry Juice on Inflammatory Status and Clinical Symptoms in Patients With General Anxiety Disorder

Auxiliary Effects of Mulberry Juice on Inflammatory Status and Clinical Symptoms in Patients With General Anxiety Disorder: A Single-Blinded Trial

GAD-7 measures anxiety status. The questionnaire is self-reported.

PHQ-9 measure depression status. This questionnaire is self-reported.

WHOQOL-BREF measures the quality of life. The questionnaire is self-reported.

Inflammation status of the patients are evaluated by measuring CRP, known cytokines (Interleukin- 6 [IL-6], Interleukin-1β [IL-1β], tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor [G-CSF], granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor [GM-CSF], and transforming growth factor [TGF-β]), chemokines (IL-8, GRO-α, and MCP-1), and PGE in sera, in addition to the sentinel molecule IL-17A. All markers are measured by using ELISA assays according to manufacturer instructions.

Inflammation genes including CRP, cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, G-CSF, GM-CSF, and TGF-β), chemokines (IL-8, GRO-α, and MCP-1), and PGE in addition to IL-17A, are to be genotyped.

Patients who agree to join our study are measured at baseline. Randomization is carried out by using a computer program and 2 bottles (600 ml/bottle) of sanitized mulberry juice are delivered to the experimental group 20 days before the next clinic visit, with instruction to consume 50 ml of juice diluted with drinking water at room temperature. For the control group, patients are informed of their allocation results along with a reminder of the next clinic visit. On the second visit at the 1st month, measurements of clinical symptoms and social functions and inflammation status are conducted. A between-group difference at this stage represents changes caused by the intervention. No mulberry juice is given to patients for either group further on. All patients are evaluated again with the same assessment tools, as well as the immunology markers in their sera during the third visit.

The clinical assessments of clinical symptoms and social functions are self-reported and thus clinicians or care providers have no knowledge of the outcomes. The self-reported assessments are then coded by a research assistant with masked group labels and handled to the statistician for analysis.
