Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Simple randomization will be done using random numbers table from www.randomization.com website. Randomization concealment will be done using closed envelopes. The envelopes will be prepared and printed by one of the members of the research team and random numbers with the help of Randomaization.com and will be placed inside the envelope. The envelopes are closed and the contents cannot be seen from the outside. Then, the purpose of the study will be explained to the person who meets the inclusion criteria and if the person wishes and signs the informed consent form, takes an envelope and then opens it and enters to the intervention or control group based on the contents of the envelope.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Patients and outcome assessors are unaware of patient grouping. A placebo will be used for this purpose. The placebo used in this study looks completely similar to the original drug in terms of appearance and packaging type, so that it is impossible to differentiate it from the main drug. The assessor evaluates the outcome of patients in groups called A and B so that it is not known which patient will be in the control group and which patient will be in the intervention group.
