Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random assignment of the patients to the intervention and control groups through the drawing of lots. To do this, we prepare three sheets and write "intervention 1" on one sheet and "intervention 2" on the second and "control" on the third one. Then, by referring each patient, one of the sheets will be randomly taken and the patient will be assigned to the interventions or control group.
