Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Hashimoto's disease (HT) and psoriasis (PsO) have a significant impact on patient's quality of everyday life, and early diagnosis is critical for the symptoms management and prognosis. There is evidence that HT and PsO share common metabolic pathways that relate to their pathogenesis, and are affected by dietary and lifestyle factors. Previous studies have identified potential metabolic biomarkers, although the small number of studies hamper their validation. Of note, most studies are not longitudinal thus do not capture the metabolic fluctuations in response to disease progression or dietary changes. Thus, the purpose of this study is to identify metabolic biomarkers of HT and PsO and study the role of epigenetic factors (diet and lifestyle) on the involved metabolic pathways . In addition, a comparative analysis of the disease-related quality of life (QoL) will be performed in relation to dietary changes to unravel possible links between the QoL and the associated metabolic pathways in HT and PsO.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), patients with psoriasis (PsO), and healthy individuals aged 18-60 will be recruited and assessed according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Eligible participants will be randomized to two groups. The intervention group will receive a combinational nutraceuticals plan for 6 months as part of a Mediterranean diet and the control group will follow usual diet. Data will be collected at baseline and at the end of the study including levels of organic and fatty acids, lifestyle and anthropometric measurements, adherence to Mediterranean diet through the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) and disease-specific quality of life through the Thyroid Patient Report Outcome (THYPRO) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) questionnaires for the HT and the PsO group respectively.
