In this trial, random block method will be used to assign people to groups. In order to reduce the possibility of information bias, a double-blind method will be used. In this way, both the patients and researcher will be kept unaware of the type of treatment assigned to the patients. Also, in order to reduce the possibility of selection bias, Allocation Concealment method will be used after randomization and by using unit codes.
