Shilajit versus placebo in the management of patients with moderate coronavirus disease 2019: A triple-blind randomized controlled trial protocol
Background
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global emergency. Regardless of the progress in vaccine development, no effective medication has yet been identified for COVID-19. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Shilajit on COVID-19 severity, admission duration, and mortality.
Methods
This phase 3 parallel-group triple-blind randomized controlled trial will be conducted on 110 patients with a documented diagnosis of COVID-19 in the COVID ward of the Bohlool Gonabadi Hospital, Gonabad, Iran. Randomization will be done using the permuted block randomization approach with variable sizes (2 and 4). Participants in the intervention group will receive 100 mg Shilajit (two 500 mg capsules) per day, while the control group will receive placebo capsules for two weeks. Study outcomes include clinical improvement at day 14 of the intervention. Therefore, the presence of cough, headache, sore throat, chills, smell disorder, myalgia, axillary temperature, and SPO2: FiO2 ratio will be recorded at baseline and day 14 of the intervention for patients in both groups.
Discussion
This study's findings may help physicians use a traditional medicine agent as an adjuvant treatment for symptomatic management of COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Integrative Medicine (AIMED) is an international peer-reviewed, evidence-based research and review journal that is multi-disciplinary within the fields of Integrative and Complementary Medicine. The journal focuses on rigorous quantitative and qualitative research including systematic reviews, clinical trials and surveys, whilst also welcoming medical hypotheses and clinically-relevant articles and case studies disclosing practical learning tools for the consulting practitioner. By promoting research and practice excellence in the field, and cross collaboration between relevant practitioner groups and associations, the journal aims to advance the practice of IM, identify areas for future research, and improve patient health outcomes. International networking is encouraged through clinical innovation, the establishment of best practice and by providing opportunities for cooperation between organisations and communities.
