Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Random assignment to intervention groups is done by block randomization (six blocks) in Excel software. In this software, treatment and control groups are placed as every other two at first column. Six blocks are placed in the next column. Finally, the random numbers created by the random number generation software are placed. Then we will arrange the numbers based on the block and random numbers columns.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Single blinded
