mood disturbances, TMD, mood disturbance
We monitored the psychological conditions of all subjects in the trial using the POMS2 questionnaire to evaluate the condition of anger-hostility (AH), confusion-bewilderment (CB), depression-dejection (DD), fatigue-inertia (FI), tension-anxiety (TA), vigor-activity (VA), friendliness (F), and total mood disturbances (TMD). POMS2 t-scores relative to baseline are shown in Table POMS2 t-scores (relative to baseline).95% CI indicated difference of t-scores (relative to baseline) in each variable between placebo and probiotics groups (Probiotics—Placebo). AH = anger- hostility, CB = confusion-bewilderment, DD = depression- dejection, F = Friendliness, FI = fatigue-inertia, TA = tension-anxiety, TMD = total mood disturbance, VA = vigor-activity.
