      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In the block randomization method, considering blocks of 4, among the 6 possible states for blocks of four including two people from the intervention group (A) and two people from the control group (B):
 (1.AABB, 2.ABAB, 3.BBAA, 4.BABA, 5.ABBA, 6.BAAB),
Using the RANDBETWEEN(1,6) command in Excel software, the number of blocks corresponding to the sample size will be randomly selected, and a random allocation sequence will be created. The participants are equally divided into intervention and control groups based on the established allocation sequence.
The randomization sequence will be placed in sealed, opaque envelopes to ensure allocation concealment. These envelopes are numbered in sequence and will be opened by the person responsible for allocation only after the participant has accepted the study, Blinding description: Patients, researchers, data collectors and data analysts are unaware of the study conditions.
The placebo and the drug will be the same in terms of appearance, taste and method of administration.</study_design>
