Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
The names of all patients will be written completely randomly from top to bottom after sampling the required amount (30 people) using the available (easy) sampling method; Then, from the top, we assign number 1 to the first person, then 2 to... the last person to whom we assign the number 30. Then numbers 1 to 15 will be assigned to the control group and numbers 16 to 30 to the intervention group.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, only the patients and the project manager who is supposed to perform the intervention on the patients; They will be blind. In this way, the empty capsule will be prepared exactly the same as the Familact capsule, and 30 glasses will be prepared for the drugs. According to the randomization, glasses 1 to 15 will contain 3 empty capsules each and glasses number 16 to 30 will contain 3 Familact capsules each. In this way, both the project manager and the patient will not know whether the capsule they receive is Familact or a placebo.
