简要总结
It is the purpose of this pilot study to evaluate a high-fat/low-carbohydrate "ketogenic" diet-based intervention as an adjunctive strategy for impacting symptoms of bipolar disorder. The study is designed to evaluate this impact in the rural southern catchment area around Montgomery, Alabama.
While existing access and cost barriers can prevent effective treatment of bipolar disorder in the rural south, using food as medicine represents a possible alternative/adjunctive to traditional high-cost/low-access medications. Specifically, this study will evaluate the impact of combining a ketogenic diet with existing treatment options, under the conditions of the rural catchment area, to determine the impact and efficacy of this intervention at patient and systems levels.
If effective, the interventions examined in this pilot study may increase the efficacy, availability and access to care experienced by individuals living with bipolarity in the rural Deep South.

主要结局
Impact on Symptom Severity as measured by Young Mania Ratings Scale
时间窗: T0 (time of intake); T0+1 week; T0+2 weeks; T0+3 weeks; T0+4 weeks; T0+6 weeks; T0+8 weeks; T0+10 weeks; T0+12 weeks; T0+16 weeks; T0+20 weeks; T0+24 weeks
The Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS) is a clinical assessment tool specifically designed to evaluate manic symptoms and their severity. The YMRS comprises 11 items. Each item is rated on a scale that varies in range, typically from 0 to 4 or 0 to 8, allowing for a nuanced measurement of symptoms. The total score can range from 0 to 60, with higher scores indicating more severe manic symptoms.
