Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Block randomization. Patients are divided into 20 blocks of 4 individuals, and different interventions are performed for patients based on the type of group (placebo or intervention). Each category will be assigned a code, and based on that code, the medicine or placebo code will be presented to the participants, and the performer is unaware of the code assigned to the medicine or placebo. In this method, Sealed Envelope software with the following internet address is used. This site is a free site for randomization in clinical trials. https://www.sealedenvelope.com/ The Randomization Unit is clustered.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
In this Study, the Participants, Principal Investigator, Data and Safety Monitoring Committee, Outcome Assessor and Data Analyst will not know the Type of Intervention. The Research Project Associate divides the Drug and Placebo into the Patient's Drug Collection.
