Randomization description
The method of random allocation of the samples to the two groups will be blocking. The blocking is done with random allocation software and 11 quadruple blocks are generated with the software then samples with inclusion criteria are assigned to each of the multi-sensory stimulation or aromatherapy groups accordingly. To hide the random allocation, 44 non-transparent envelopes (for the sake of clarity of envelope content) were prepared, and each random sequence generated was recorded on a card and the cards were inserted in the envelope respectively. In order to maintain a random sequence, the outer surface of the envelopes is numbered in the same order. Finally, the envelope door is glued and placed in a box, respectively. At the time the participants begin to register, based on the order of entry of the eligible participants into the study, one of the envelopes, respectively, opened and the assigned group of the participant is revealed.
