简要总结

The present study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study. 192 participants will be screened, and considering a screening failure rate of 87%, approximately 28 participants will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either DBMF or placebo and will be assigned a unique randomization code. Each group will have at least 10 completed participants after accounting for a dropout/withdrawal rate of 30%. The intervention duration for all the study participants is 56 days.
