      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, people are randomly divided into 2 intervention groups and control groups by assigning three-digit codes by random assignment software (RAS). Allocation concealment will be used for concealment. This work is done using opaque envelopes sealed with a random sequence (Sequentially numbered, sealed, opaque envelopes). In this method, each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards will be placed in the envelopes in order. In order to maintain the random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order. Finally, the lid of the envelopes is glued and they are placed in a box. At the time of the registration of the participants, based on the order of entry of the eligible participants to the study, the envelopes will be opened in order and the assigned group of that participant will be revealed, Blinding description: Ginger capsules and placebo are distributed in containers that are identical in appearance and coded by a person other than the investigator. None of the participants and the investigator will know about the group in which the people are located, and the coding will be done by someone other than the researcher. Necessary explanations are provided for eligible people to participate in the research and informed consent is obtained from them.</study_design>
