Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Patients will be randomly assigned into intervention and control groups by block allocation method. The allocation sequence will be generated using the free web site www.randomization.com. To generate the allocation sequence in this system, the number of subjects per block will be set to 4. In addition, the letters A will be assigned to the intervention group and B to the control group, and eventually the allocation sequence will be generated for each block by confirming the production of the allocation sequence in this system. The cards containing the blocks will then be inserted into the standard envelope. Thus, based on the eligible patient, an envelope will be removed by the researcher by accident, and the allocation will be determined.
