Single blinded
Blinding description
In this study, after the participants are selected, we begin the treatment randomly and without knowing the two groups in this study in the intervention or control group, but the treatment that will be applied to them will be explained. The blindness of the participants in the treatment is that they are unaware that there is another group. But after the end, they will know about the existence of the other group and they will be treated if they wish. The researcher is aware of the existence of an intervention group and control.
