Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Participants were selected randomly using the lottery method. Each eligible participant was assigned a unique number. These numbers were written on identical slips of paper, folded to conceal them, and placed in a container. After thorough mixing, slips were drawn one by one. The first drawn slip was assigned to Group A, the second to Group B, the third to Group A, and so on alternately, until all participants were allocated. This method ensured random and unbiased allocation to the two groups.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Both patients and the outcome assessor were blinded, by preventing participants and evaluators from knowing the treatment allocation, ensuring objective assessment of outcomes.
