      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The participants will be divided into two groups by block randomization method: intervention group and control group. The randomization list is produced by a statistician in the form of random blocks with a volume of 4 and considering 2 groups A and B (zataria multiflora and placebo). Then, during packing, randomization of the packages will be done according to the list and allocated to the patients accordingly. After conducting experiments and completing the study, a random list will be given to the researcher and analysis will be done. Until the end of the data analysis, the patient and the analyst will not be informed about the type of drug and placebo, and this issue will remain confidential. In case of deviation from the protocol, the analysis method will be used with the intention of treatment, Blinding description: Considering that this study is double-blind in the sense that the researcher, the patient and the analyst do not know what type of dietary supplement is being taken (Zataria Multiflora supplement or placebo). To accomplish this task, the extract and placebo are packaged in similar bottles with the same information and instructions, and coded as A and B by someone other than the interventionist, so the interventionist is unaware of the capsule type. The values ​​obtained from each group should be noted.</study_design>
