Random sequence generation sites are used for randomization. This site randomly places the number of people in the study groups in order of entry. These numbers are written in sheets according to the order of placement in the groups that show the individual's allocation and are placed in envelopes to prevent the allocator's opinion from being applied. The allocating person is asked to open the envelope of the same number as the people enter according to the person's number and the person's group is determined In this study, we will use the restricted randomization method of the block randomization type. Blocking is usually used in order to balance the number of samples allocated to each of the studied groups. This feature helps the researchers to have the same number of samples assigned to each of the studied groups in cases where intermediate analyzes are needed during the sampling process. The size of all the blocks is equal and we will use 4 blocks in this experiment
