      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: -Randomization Method: Minimization

Minimization is recognized as a valid approach for randomization, particularly in clinical trials where we want to ensure balance between treatment groups based on certain overlapping variables (such as age, gender, and severity of pressure ulcers).

-Unit of Randomization: The unit of randomization in this study is a patient in the ICU who has developed a pressure ulcer. Each patient will be assigned to one of the treatment groups (receiving royal jelly) or the control group (receiving a placebo or standard care).

-Randomization Tools: Statistical software in Python will be used.

-Constructing the Randomization Sequence:
The minimization method ensures that treatment groups are balanced concerning predetermined overlapping variables. Here’s how to construct the randomization sequence:

1. Identify Overlapping Variables: Select the variables that are important for balance, such as age, gender, severity of pressure ulcers, or comorbid conditions.

2. Initiate Randomization: Start with the first patient and randomly assign them to one of the groups (treatment or control).

3. Minimization Algorithm:
   - For each subsequent patient, calculate the imbalance for both treatment groups based on the overlapping variables.
   - Assign the new patient to the treatment group that minimizes the overall imbalance across the overlapping variables.
   - This process can be repeated for each patient enrolled in the study.

-Allocation Concealment: We will use Centralized Randomization: A third party will manage the randomization and allocation process. This person will not be involved in patient care or data collection, Blinding description: In this study, blinding was done only for the patients. This means that only the patients do not know what group they are in. During wound dressing, all patients or their companions will be told that the same dressings will be used for them. The wound specialists and the people responsible for the study will know which type of treatment the patient will receive.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: To 30 patients with bed sores in the ICU who were enrolled in the study by a wound expert, two days a week for 8 weeks, in addition to the routine treatment of bed sores (Tabasept spray, X-Plates gel, Urocel 10x10 and Tabaflex 10x10), the combination of royal jelly and honey will be given, and the patients will be followed up by the PUSH questionnaire during this period. Intervention 2: Control group: To 30 patients with bedsores in the ICU who were included in the study by a wound expert, two days a week for 8 weeks, routine treatment of bedsores (Tabasept spray, X-Plates gel, Eurocell 10x10 and Tabaflex 10x10) will be given and patients will be followed up by PUSH questionnaire during this period.</i_freetext>
