      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: It should be noted that this study has been conducted for the first time in Iran and is unique in its own way, Randomization description: In this study, 70 eligible patients from those who visited Al-Zahra Hospital were randomly selected. For the random allocation of patients into the intervention and control groups, (specify the method, e.g., random number table, randomization software, or other methods such as block randomization or allocation based on odd and even numbers) was used. This process was conducted by an independent individual, separate from the treatment team, to ensure impartiality. After the initial assessments and necessary tests, the required medications were prescribed for each patient according to the study protocol, Blinding description: The patients did not know the type of study and only took the drugs to treat the disease. Also, the researcher and clinical caregivers were unaware of the final outcome.</study_design>
