      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: This study is currently a pilot study, Randomization description: We use block size 4 randomization with equal probability for eligible patients to enter groups A and B.
According to Block Size 4, we have six possible combinations for assigning individuals to groups, including AABB, ABAB, BAAB, BABA, BBAA and ABBA.
At the beginning of the study, we randomly select one of these arrangements and four eligible patients are placed on each block, respectively. We repeat this process several times until all eligible patients are examined.
Randomization Tool: Random Numbers Table 
Randomization is concealed in an sealed envelope, Blinding description: Patients who participate in the project based on informed consent do not know their belonging to the intervention or control group. Due to the nature of the intervention and the design method of the study, only the specialist physician in the course of the treatment is aware of the intervention. Other physicians and speech pathologist who perform examinations of the patients at the beginning and in subsequent referrals will be unaware of the patient's belonging to the intervention or control group. Also, the statistician does not know the identity of the patients and the researcher who collects the patients' information only collects the information through a numerical list in which the patients' names are not available.</study_design>
