      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, block randomization method is used.A computer algorithm written in SAS (Statistical Analysis System) is used for performing a block randomization with randomaly selected block size of 4, 8 and 12.
Example out put from the SAS algorithm;
Block 1; size;4
1.   4.   Control
2.    4   Control
3.    4   Intervention
4.    4.  Intervention

Block 2; size ;4
1.    4   Control
2.    4.  Intervention
3.    4   Control
4.    4.  Intervention

Block 3; size ;8
1.   8.  Control
2.   8.  Intervention
3.   8.  Control
4.   8.  Intervention
5.   8.  Intervention
6.   8   Intervention
7.    8  Control
8.    8. Control 

The main idea of block randomization is to divide patients into M blocks of size 2N, so that in eachblock N patients are assigned to control group and N patients are assigned to intervention group.The selection of blocks is based on individual characteristics. The block is then randomly selected. This method ensures equal treatment allocation per block provided the block is fully utilized.
The size of the block, depending on the number of treatments, should be short enough to prevent imbalance, and large enough to prevent guessing treatment allocation in each group during the study. The size of the block should be at least twice the number of treatment groups. The size of the block is not stated in the study so that researchers are blind to it.
If the blocks are expressed, the treatment series in each block can be guessed. This can lead to selection bias. The solution to prevent this error is to: (1) Lack of disclose the block mechanism (2) Use random block size.
In each group, the drugs will be given to the patients in the same way, and the drug will be found on the same days and in the same way. Everyone on the research team, like patients and their families, will be unaware of the treatment groups designed, Blinding description: Patients are treated with medication packages pre-determined by the study supervisor (supervisor).Drug packages are quite similar in shape.The patient and the facilitator are not aware of the contents of the packages. In addition, collecting patient assessment information and completing forms is done by the project manager and his assistant who are not aware of the content of the packages.The data analysis stage will be performed by the project consultant and the project manager who are not aware of the contents of the drug packages and only the group of patients (group one or two) will be identified for data analysis, so the study is three-blind.And from the stage of patient admission to the study, data collection and data analysis of the contents of the two drug groups is not clear.</study_design>
