      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: To randomize the samples, we use a block method with six blocks. In this way, from the following blocks, one is first selected at random (for example, with a dice) and according to that order, we assign the samples to 2 groups. (For example, A for the Botox group and B for the placebo group) For example, if block three is selected, the first and second samples will be assigned to group B and the third and fourth samples to group A. And we make the assignment according to that and this process will continue until the end of the sampling. If a 35-year-old woman with a body mass index of 29 is in group A, there will be other patients with similar characteristics in the control group and no cut-off is defined for these values ​​and an attempt will be made to ensure that the patients in the two groups are similar with a reasonable and appropriate standard deviation in these variables, Blinding description: Due to the type of study design, patients and the study's conducting physicians were unaware of the intervention performed on the patients (Botox or placebo), and only the primary study analysts would be aware of the grouping of participants in the study.</study_design>
