      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be randomly assigned into two groups. A randomization list will be generated from 1 to 60 by a random number generator (https://stattrek.com/statistics/random-number-generator.aspx) and patients were randomly assigned into each intervention group by their numbers. The block randomization technique (including AABB, BBAA, ABAB  BABA, ABBA, BAAB) with 1:1 ratio will be used to achieve balanced group sizes. Drugs and placebos are in the same packaging at the Pharmaceutical company. Only the code is written on the packages. Patients and researchers do not know the type of drug and after analyzing the data, packet codes are decoded, Blinding description: Randomization and allocation will be concealed from the researchers and participants until the final analyses are completed. Another person at the Beheshti clinic, who is not involved in the trial and not aware of random sequences, will be assigned the participants to the numbered bottles of drugs.</study_design>
