      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Randomization will be done by 4 block size, Blinding description: Since the placebo is exactly the same as the original medicine, and when informed consent is informed, the patient is randomly assigned to one of the drug or placebo groups, so the patient is not aware of the type of medication. Also, the main investigator who examined the initial outcome will be blind to patient's drug type, because the allocation is done by Secretary of the clinic.</study_design>
