Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The blocked randomization method is used. The volume of each block will be four. Then the list of blocks is written and numbers assigned to them, for example (AABB(1)- BBAA(2)- BABA(3)- BAAB(4)), which will be 20 blocks according to the sample size of 80. Then, random numbers between 1 and 20 are selected according to the randomization site Randomaization.com, and finally, the treatment allocation list is determined based on the random numbers.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
Blinding will performed using sealed envelopes. Due to the use of a placebo similar to the intervention treatment, the investigator and the participants will not be informed of the assigned treatment, and the analyst will also be unaware of the assigned treatment for the two groups. Finally, after analyzing the data, the researcher who prepared the packages will reveal the codes A and B.
