Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Participants do not know which group they are in. The data analyser does not know which group it is analysing. The number of people in the intervention and treatment groups is the same (we have 15 patients in each group for the treatment group). The duration for both intervention and control groups is 8 sessions and each session is 90 minutes.The number of sessions is equal, so the patient is blind to the type of treatment.Data analysis is given only data and does not know what treatment was done for either group.
