      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this study, 30 patients with thalassemia major who are over 5 years old and have received blood regularly for at least 2 years are included in the study. To assign patients to two groups, the block randomization method with the size of four blocks was used. Thus, using online software, the randomization sequence was generated by the block method and remained with the epidemiologist and sought to diagnose and In the first group, 15 patients received amlodipine at a dose of 2.5-5 mg with a chelator, and in the second group, 15 patients received chelator. Will receive alone for one year, Blinding description: This study is a double-blind randomized clinical trial in Amir Kabir hospital in Arak in 1398 with easy sampling. In this study, 30 patients with major thalassemia who are over 5 years old and have been receiving blood for at least 2 years on a regular basis were enrolled after informed consent. Blindness Due to the double blindness of the study means that only the relevant expert in the study is aware of the study type and study groups, while the patients and the statistical experts responsible for analyzing the data are aware. Patients in charge are not aware of the study groups and only identify patients based on groups A and B and complete the checklists accordingly.</study_design>
