      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: In addition to the primary ITT-based analysis, a secondary Per-Protocol (PP) analysis will be conducted, in which only patients who fully complied with the treatment protocol and completed the study follow-up will be included in the analysis. This analysis is performed to assess the effectiveness of the intervention in the context of full adherence to treatment, Randomization description: lock randomization will be used in a 1:1:1 ratio to randomly and equally allocate participants to three treatment groups. Randomization will be performed by an independent individual from the treatment team to prevent any bias in patient allocation. After applying concealed allocation, patients will be divided into three groups in the following manner: 110 envelopes numbered 1 to 110 A, 110 envelopes numbered 1 to 110 B, and 110 envelopes numbered 1 to 110 C. A trained expert will randomly assign one of the envelopes to the patients, and after obtaining informed consent, they will enter the study, Blinding description: After applying concealed allocation, the patients were divided into three groups in the following manner: 20 packets numbered 1 to 20 A and 20 packets numbered 1 to 20 B were prepared, and a secretary randomly gave one of the packets to the patients, and the people in group A entered the antibiotic treatment regimen, and the people in group B entered the combination treatment regimen of mint tablets and green tea. After providing the necessary explanations and obtaining informed consent, they entered the study. In this study, people who refer to a specialist at Motahari Clinic in Shiraz with symptoms of heartburn and reflux and have a positive H. pylori sampling or breath test will be included in the study. After obtaining written informed consent from the participants, the randomization process will be performed using a random block method with a ratio of 1:1 so that the participants will be randomly placed in one of the two treatment groups. The first group will receive standard H. pylori treatment including antibiotics and omeprazole for one month. The second group will take two herbal medicines, peppermint (Supermint) and green tea (Camellia sinensis), for one month in addition to the standard treatment. The first group will be given a placebo pill of the same shape and size instead of the herbal medicine. The study is designed as a double-blind study, meaning that neither the patients nor the treating physicians will know which treatment they are receiving. Randomization and coding of the drugs will be performed by an independent person from the treatment team. The drug packages will be provided to the patients in the same way and without a name indicating the type of treatment. The outcome assessment will be performed by an independent team of clinical researchers to avoid any bias. After the treatment period (one month), stool samples will be taken from all patients. Fecal antigens will be measured using a special kit using the ELISA method.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Helicobacter Pylori infection.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: The first Intervention group will receive a drug regimen consisting of 20 mg of vonoprazan four times a day and 1000 mg of amoxicillin four times a day for 7 days. The continuation of this arm will be subject to the results of the interim analysis and subsequent decision-making. Intervention 2: The second Intervention group will receive 20 mg of vonoprazan twice a day and 240 mg of bismuth subcitrate twice a day and 500 mg of amoxicillin four times a day and 500 mg of metronidazole three times a day for 10 days. Intervention 3: The third Intervention group of drug regimens includes omeprazole 20 mg twice a day and bismuth subcitrate 240 mg twice a day and amoxicillin 500 mg four times a day and metronidazole 500 mg three times a day for 14 days.</i_freetext>
