      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: It is a Block randomized trial in which the Random Allocation Software will be used for allocation concealment which is performed according to SNOSE (sequentially numbered, opaque, sealed envelopes) technique. Envelopes will be sealed and one of the executive member will put randomized number into pockets . Following providing written documentation of informed consent to participate the subjects will pick up a pocket which will be divided into control or intervention group accordingly. Size of Blocks will be four in the study, Blinding description: This is a double-blind clinical trial in which participants and data analyzers will be blinded to the study. In this randomized controlled trial blinding is achieved with placebo. Compared to the treatment, plecebo will have the same shape and color. Since double-blinded studies are considered valid approach in decreasing bias in clinical trials, both participants and data analyzers are blinded in this study. It is worth mentioning that participants are aware that they might be randomly categorized either in the treatment or control group. The principal investigator is responsible for the safety of the project, assessing results, and writing the manuscript. He is not blinded to final outcomes. Data collectors, Data analyzers will be blinded in this study. Data Safety and Monitoring Board are not blind to data.</study_design>
