      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Using block randomization, patients will be assigned to intervention groups or placebo groups. The randomization sequence will be determined by one of the individuals who did not participate in the current research. It is necessary to explain that the aforementioned randomization method reduces the possibility of predicting and manipulating the randomization process by people to zero and will lead to the balance of the size of the groups during and at the end of the study, Blinding description: The patients will receive the boxes sealed with 10-digit codes and will receive the original drug or placebo, and they will not be aware of the type of received material. The researcher will ensure the blinding of the patients. Also, doctors, researchers, and those responsible for the implementation of the project will not be aware of the type of medicine received by the patients until the end of the study.</study_design>
