      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Other, Purpose: Health service research, Randomization description: Participants will be screened according to the criteria and 32 participants who met the inclusion criteria of the study will be selected. Participants will be divided randomly into 2  treatment groups, 16 each, by using the lottery method. Each participants will be asked to choose between two pieces of paper, with group A and group B written on them. Participants will be allocated into treatment groups according to the piece of paper they will choose. After completing 16 participants in one group, all other participants will be assigned to the other treatment group, so that both treatment groups have equal participants, Blinding description: Each participants will be asked to choose between two pieces of paper, with group A and group B written on them. Participants will be allocated into treatment groups according to the piece of paper they choose. The patients will not know, in which group he/she is enrolled to avoid bias.</study_design>
