      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: In this study, SPSS software version 18 is used for statistical analysis. To compare the main efficacy indices (Reduction of viral load of improvement of clinical symptoms) as primary and secondary outcome between study groups, t-test for continuous quantitative variables or Wilcoxon test (if t test is not used). ) Is used for quantitatively discrete ranking variables. Statistical description of qualitative variables will be in frequency or percentage of observation and Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests will be used to compare between groups. For all statistical tests, P &lt;0.05 (two-way) is considered statistically significant, Randomization description: In this method, the number of people in each study group is equal to each other during treatment. According to the number of 60 participants (30 people in each group) and the approximate time of 10 weeks to complete the entry of people into the study, out of 10 blocks of 6 people (if there is a sufficient number of 5 blocks of 12) will be used. The procedure in this type of randomization is similar to the simple randomization method, only the number of people in the two treatment groups is the same during the treatment period. The only drawback of this method is that the last group in each block is specified.</study_design>
