      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Crossover, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The random assignment list will be computer generated with a 1: 1 allocation, stratified by recruitment site, using random block sizes of four. Using concealed in sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes (SNOSE), participants will enter the blocks in such a way that an equal number of each assigned group. Allocation will be done by randomly selecting one of the arrangements and assigning the next part of the participants to the study groups according to the specified sequence. And kept by the hospital pharmacist of the center, Blinding description: To maintain blindness in patients, since the two drugs ZAX and Dimethicone are not identical in appearance, a placebo of both drugs is made, which is considered as the drug in terms of shape and appearance; In this way, one group will receive ZAX capsules and placebo of Dimethicone tablets and the other group will receive Dimethicone tablets along with placebo of ZAX capsules. In fact, each treatment group contains a drug package containing 2 drug forms (capsules and tablets).
Also, the evaluator is not aware of the type of drugs in the intervention groups, so that multi-digit numeric codes (barcodes) are written on the drug packages that only the main person in charge of the research knows about them and can access the codes if needed. And the type of drug is determined.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Group 1 will receive Dimethicone chewable tablets 40 mg and placebo of Zax capsules 400 mg after each meal for 2 weeks. They will not receive any medication for a week during the washout period. They will then be crossed, receiving for another 2 weeks Zax capsule 400 mg and placebo of Dimethicone 40 mg after each meal. Dimethicone is provided by Sobhan Daroo Company. Intervention 2: Group 2 will receive Zax capsule 400 mg and placebo of Dimethicone 40 mg after each meal. They will not receive any medication for a week during the washout period. They will then be crossed, receiving for another 2 weeks, Dimethicone chewable tablets 40 mg and placebo of Zax capsule 400 mg after each mea. Zax capsules are manufactured by NIAK Company. After collection, the plants are divided into smaller pieces and after drying separately in the shade, they are pulverized by an electric mill. The plants were mixed with the specified ratios (Dry extract of apricots: 25%, dry extract of thyme: 25%, frankincense: 25%, dry extract of black seed: 17.5%, magnesium stearate 0.25%, aerosil 0.75%, starch 6.5%) and finally a capsule with a filled weight of 400 mg was prepared in the filling section without pus. The standardization of the capsule with 3.67 mg of thymol in each capsule was done by spectrophotometric method according to the German Pharmacopoeia.</i_freetext>
