      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: In this study, we will use the block randomization method and in this two-group clinical trial, we will have 4 blocks. For each person who enters the study, a code is obtained from the software and it is determined which group (intervention or control) it belongs to. The working tool is Random Allocation Software. This software can be downloaded for free from the following address:
https://random-allocation-software.software.informer.com/2.0
In the mentioned software, the number of two groups and the sample size is 100, the block method with random sizes is selected and the output is the randomization list. In order to conceal, we use specialized random Allocation concealment, this method is such that the allocated group is not known before the individual is allocated, in this way, by using opaque envelopes marked with a random sequence, which in In this method, each of the random sequences created is recorded on a card and the cards are placed in the envelopes in order. Finally, the lids of the envelopes are glued and placed in a box. Blocking and preparation of envelopes is done by a person not involved in data sampling and analysis. In this way, the person who collects, the person who analyzes, and the person who participates do not know the type of intervention received and in which group each person is placed.</study_design>
