About this study

Official title: Association of Perceived Stress and Negative Thoughts With Metabolic Biomarkers and Inflammatory Diseases in People With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Healthy Subjects

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of measured and induced negative feelings on glucose, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and cortisol levels in healthy participants and participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Read the detailed description

Depression and Diabetes are two pathologies that are frequently comorbid. Stress and negative thoughts are part of both. The biological correlates of psychological and emotional life are not yet fully clarified, so in this study we wonder about the association between tumor necrosis factor alpha, cortisol, and peripheral glucose levels with depression stress, measured negative thoughts, and induced guilt.This is a randomized intervention study. At baseline, participants complete the Beck Depression Inventory, the Automatic Negative Thoughts Scale (ATQ-N), and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). The intervention consists of a written task about situations that involved feelings of guilt or neutral situations. Saliva and dextrostix samples are taken before the 20-minute written task, at the end, dextrostix and saliva samples are performed again, finally a blood sample is taken.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Glucose levels

    mg/dL

    Measured: Sample collection is two times during a single day for each participant, with an interval of 20 minutes. Since it will be measured in fasting, it will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

  2. Salivary cortisol

    mg/dL

    Measured: Sample collection is two times during a single day for each participant, with an interval of 20 minutes. Since it will be measured in fasting, it will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

  3. Salivary Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha

    mg/dL

    Measured: Sample collection is two times during a single day for each participant, with an interval of 20 minutes. It will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Perceived stress

    Perceived stress scale (PSS-14), range 0-40.Higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. Scores ranging from 0-13 would be considered low stress. Scores ranging from 14-26 would be considered moderate stress. Scores ranging from 27-40 would be considered high perceived stress.

    Measured: This variable is measured in a single day and represents the week prior to the study.

  2. Negative thoughts

    Automatic negative thoughts scale (ATQ-N), range 0-90. Higher scores mean a worse outcome (more negative thoughts).

    Measured: This variable is measured in a single day and represents the month prior to the study.

  3. Depression

    Beck's Depression Inventory, range 0-63. Higher number indicating more severe depression.

    Measured: This variable is measured in a single day and represents the week prior to the study.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glucose levels (time frame: Sample collection is two times during a single day for each participant, with an interval of 20 minutes. Since it will be measured in fasting, it will take place between 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
