      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Patients with the inclusion criteria will be assigned to groups A or B based on a randomized list generated by using the technique of quadruple blocks procured from a software application known as Random Number Calculator. For the production of placebo, coordination will be made with Salamat Parmon Amin manufacturing company. It is requested that the drug manufacturer label the drug or placebo with a letter A or B, determined by a coin toss, and the opposite letter shall be assigned to the alternative option, Blinding description: This interventional study will be conducted in a triple blind manner. Blinding includes patient, therapist and analyst. In order to make a placebo, coordination will be done with Salamat Parmon Amin production company and it is requested that the drug manufacturer put one of the letters A or B on the drug or placebo and the other letter on the other by using a lottery by throwing a coin. The confidentiality of both the drug and placebo types should be maintained until the conclusion of the data analysis, as a fundamental element of the research protocol, and after the analysis, the researcher will ask the person in charge of the drug manufacturing for the type of labels. This means that the therapist will not know the type of medicine or whether the medicine packages are placebo. Neither the patient nor the analyst will know about this. The placebo capsules will bear complete resemblance to the capsules of the intervention group in terms of their coating, color, and smell.</study_design>
