Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be randomly divided into two intervention and control groups of 27 people. Randomization and allocation concealment will be done respectively from a random number table and sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes (SNOSE).
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
While the patient is aware of the blinding of the study, both the patient and whether they receive the original drug or placebo are identified by a numerical or letter code. Thus, the participant, care provider, researcher, and outcome assessor, will not be aware of which individual or group received which drug (except in emergencies and according to the unblinding protocol).
