      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Restricted randomization method will use block randomization method. Blocking will be used primarily to balance the number of samples allocated in each of the study groups. This has helped the researcher to ensure that in cases where intermediate surveys are needed during sampling, the number of samples allocated to each of the study groups will be equal. The size of all blocks is equal. In this experiment, two groups of 6 blocks (including 3 participants in the intervention group and 3 participants in the control group) will be used.
Randomization tools will also be used based on software random allocation software. In order to generate a random sequence, these softwares are able to generate a random sequence by blocking method in addition to simple randomization. For concealment, the concealment allocation method will be used to execute a random sequence on the participants in a way that the assigned group is not known before the individual is assigned. In this method, using envelopes that were opaque sealed, random sequences (envelopes opaque, sealed, numbered sequentially) were recorded on a card and the drugs were placed in the envelopes, respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, it was necessary to number the envelopes on the outer surface so that the numbering would be done in the same way. Finally, the letter envelopes were sealed and placed inside a box. At the beginning of the intervention and according to the order of entry of the subjects who were eligible to study, one of the envelopes will be opened in order in the group assigned to that participant. , Will be revealed, Blinding description: After selecting the samples, none of the participants will be aware of randomization and assignment to groups. Physicians are given a table of pre-coded numbered numbers, and patients are entered into the study in tabular order.
Three smaller envelopes will be placed in the envelopes,
  Containing small envelopes for the intervention group
1- Doxycycline is 100 mg q 12. On this envelope, this sentence is written. This capsule should be taken one morning, two hours after breakfast, and one evening, one hour before dinner, with plenty of water. Do not lie down for an hour after consumption.
2- The second pack contains 600 mg / day of rifampin. This sentence is written on this envelope. Take two Rifampin 300 mg capsules every morning on an empty stomach and do not eat breakfast for an hour.
3- The second pack contains 900-100 mg / day of yampin. On this envelope is written the sentence immediately before bedtime - one capsule in patients weighing 60 kg or less and two capsules in patients weighing more than 60 kg.
Containing small envelopes for the control group
1- Doxycycline is 100 mg q 12. On this envelope, this sentence is written. This capsule should be taken one morning, two hours after breakfast, and one evening, one hour before dinner, with plenty of water. Do not lie down for an hour after consumption.
2- The second pack contains 600 mg / day of rifampin. It is written on this envelope that he should take two Rifampin 300 mg capsules every morning on an empty stomach and not eat breakfast for an hour.
3- The third envelope contains a placebo. On this envelope, it is written that this capsule should be taken at night immediately before going to bed (in case of weight of 60 kg or less, one capsule should be taken and weight of more than 60 kg should be taken in two capsules).
Therefore, the present study will be double-blind. The envelope will contain the tablets in one shape, color and size and will be delivered to the patient in the package.</study_design>
