      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly assigned into three groups. A list of random numbers from 1 to 87 using a random number generator (https://stattrek.com/statistics/random-number-generator.aspx) will be generated, and then patients will be randomly assigned using numbers into three groups. At study baseline, after stratification for gender, pre-intervention body mass index and age, subjects were randomly assigned to three groups. Randomization will be done by the use of computer-generated random numbers, Blinding description: Randomization and allocation will be concealed from the researchers and participants until the final analyses are completed. Another person at the Clinic, who is not involved in the trial and not aware of random sequences, will assign the participants to the numbered bottles of drugs. Placebo capsules contained microcrystalline cellulose and were packed in identical capsules with drugs, and coded by Barij Essence Pharmaceutical company to guarantee blinding. Patients and researcher will not know the type of intervention. After analyzing the data, pocket codes will be decoded. Participants and investigators/the assessors of the outcomes are unaware of the study groups.</study_design>
