Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
This study includes 160 patients in 4 groups. 160 patients were divided into 40 blocks of 4. Each block is numbered and will be used for 4 patients, that is, if block number 2 is selected in the lottery, the first patient will receive treatment A, the second patient will receive treatment B, the third patient will receive treatment C, and the fourth patient will receive treatment D. The fifth patient will be randomly selected from one of the blocks and the type of treatment will be assigned to the fifth to eighth patients according to the block.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The study was conducted in a double-blind manner, and the patients and the examiner of the results (our expert radiologist) will not be aware of the type of drug used. Each drug is placed in a box in the package with a corresponding number label so that the patient does not have any information about the type of drug used. The shape and packaging of myrrh and OCP capsules and sesame and placebo are similar. In this study, our nurse colleague in the hospital affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences will deliver medicine and placebo to the study participants based on the random block table.
