Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization method: Simple randomization using a computer randomization method, in this method we randomly place each client in the intervention or control group Randomization unit: individual Randomization tool and randomization sequence: determined by excel software and RAND Function How to hide allocation concealment: The type of treatment allocated in the two groups is completely unpredictable. Assignment to groups is also hidden from the researcher and patients by coding the NBS supplement and placebo groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
This clinical trial is planned so that the participant does not know which of the two groups of placebo or the main supplement belongs by coding the supplement and placebo. Also, the clinician, researcher, outcome evaluator, and data analyst do not have any information about the individuals in the placebo and main supplement groups.
