In this study, we will use the restricted randomization method of block randomization. Blocking is usually used to balance the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups. This feature helps researchers to equate the number of samples assigned to each of the study groups in cases where intermediate analyzes are required during the sampling process. Random allocation software is also used for randomization tools. In addition to simple randomization, random sequence generation software is able to generate random sequences by block generation method. For concealment, we use allocation concealment, which is the method used to execute a random sequence on the study participants, so that the assigned group is not known before the individual is assigned. Using opaque envelopes sealed with random sequences (Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes) in which in this method each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards in the envelopes to They are placed in order.In order to maintain a random sequence, the envelopes are numbered in the same way on the outer surface. Finally, the lids of the letter envelopes are glued and placed inside a box, respectively. At the beginning of the registration of participants, based on the order of entry of eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes of the letter is opened in order and the assigned group of the participant is revealed.
