The aim of this study is to investigate whether a physiologically low hydrocortisone (HC) dose is better for cognition as compared to a physiologically high HC dose. In addition, quality of life, metabolic profile and somatosensation will be described in relation to HC dose.

| Hydrocortisone | Drug | Patients receive either a low dose HC (0.2-0.3 mg/kg body weight) for 10 weeks followed by 10 weeks of high dose HC (0.4-0.6 mg/kg body weight) or vice versa. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Cognition After 10 Weeks of Treatment With a Low Dose of Hydrocortisone Compared to 10 Weeks of Treatment With a High Dose of Hydrocortisone. | Cognitive domains to be tested: memory, executive functioning, attention and social cognition. The psychological tests consist of oral and written questions or computer tasks. Data is given as Z-scores based on normative data. Higher Z-scores represent a better performance. | After completion of treatment period 1 (that is after 10 weeks from baseline) and after treatment period 2 (that is after 20 weeks from baseline). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Quality of Life After 10 Weeks of Treatment With a Low Dose of Hydrocortisone Compared to 10 Weeks of Treatment With a High Dose of Hydrocortisone. | Quality of life questionnaires have to be filled in by the participant at his/her home place and have to be returned by post. | After completion of treatment period 1 (that is after 10 weeks from baseline) and after treatment period 2 (that is after 20 weeks from baseline). |

4 weeks run in phase (if applicable) + 10 weeks (treatment period 1) + 10 weeks (treatment period 2)
On testdays patients were questioned to report any adverse events. Furthermore, in week 5 and week 15 of the treatment period, patients were asked if any adverse events happened. In between these assessments patients were able to report any adverse events when necessary.
