      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: In this way, 126 cards, 63 of which have the letter A written on them and the other 63 have the letter B written on them, are placed in a jumbled envelope, and one card is drawn at random for each patient. The letter that appears on the card indicates the patient's treatment group, Blinding description: In this study, due to the impossibility of drug matching, blinding is not performed for participants. However, blinding is performed for healthcare personnel (physicians), data collectors, and outcome assessors, and to a lesser extent, the Data Safety and Monitoring Board and those preparing the manuscript.</study_design>
