      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, block randomization will be used as a reliable randomization method that leads to a balanced allocation of individuals in treatment groups at the end of each block. For this purpose, an online website addressed as (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/simple-randomiser/v1/lists) is used to create random blocks with different sizes depending on the total sample and proposed block sizes (4 and 6). Each block content is sealed. One of the block is randomly chosen when a patient refers. The patient is assigned to one of the study arms depending on the block content. 
Similarly, after the completion of the first block, the second block is randomly selected and this continues until the last block and the last patient is assigned to the study arms. By assigning the last sheet of the last block, the patients are grouped equally in the two study arms, Blinding description: After entering the study, patients choose a card from the secretary. They will receive placebo for even numbers and intervention medication for odd numbers. The secretary will enter the code in the form of each patient's form so the researcher and the participant will not be aware of the meaning of the code. Codes will be reserved until the end of the study and data analysis. The drug and placebo will be placed in the same boxes so the patients can not understand which are drug or placebo.</study_design>
