      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Children 2 to 6 years old referred to the clinic who have been diagnosed with chronic constipation based on the ROME4 diagnostic criteria will be divided into three equal groups (pidrolax, lactulose, paraffin) using random allocation. This study will be randomized. In order to perform random allocation, random blocking method with 6 blocks such as AABBCC, ABBACC, BBAACC, AACCBB, BBCCAA, ACBCAB, etc. will be used, which will have numbers from 1 onwards, respectively. Then, by randomly selecting numbers from 1 to n , (n = number of possible cases of six blocks) ,  random sequences of three types of drugs will be identified for the study samples. Drug A means pidrolax, drug B is lactulose and drug C is paraffin, Blinding description: This is a single-blind clinical trial study in which only the data analyzer is blinded and the data is provided to the data evaluator in groups A, B, and C. The patient, researcher, and clinical caregiver are aware and not blinded.</study_design>
