      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: The random allocation of the participants to two intervention and control groups will be done using random allocation software and random numbers generated by the computer.The sequence of random allocation, registration of patients, and their allocation in intervention and control groups will be done by trained students. After meeting the inclusion criteria, participants are randomized to receive omega-3 fatty acid supplementation or placebo by a trained student who distributes omega-3 fatty acid capsules or placebo according to a computer-generated randomization list. Randomization and allocation will be concealed from investigators and patients until the final analysis is completed. To control the effect of indoctrination following the consumption of capsules, a placebo will also be used in the control group, Blinding description: Blinding will be two-way. In this way, the participants and the researcher will not know about the allocation group. Blinding will be done and followed up during 3 months by asking the participants and all the research staff involved in prescribing and measuring the results regarding being aware of the group allocation.</study_design>
