Randomization description
Eligible individuals are randomly divided into four groups (permuted block randomization) and open lable in one of two treatment groups A with a size of 30 and B with a size of 30. The size of the blocks is 4 and in each block, each intervention group will be repeated twice. 15 blocks of 4 will be produced 15 times to create a total of 60 sequences. Group A or intervention group includes patients receiving rose essential oil and group B or comparison group includes patients receiving base oil as a placebo. To hide the random allocation list, a special code will be assigned to each of the intervention groups that only the principal executor (supervisor) is aware of. These codes are written on a piece of paper and placed in a sealed envelope. A single code specific to each patient will be written on this paper as well as on the envelope. All envelopes are placed in a larger box in random order and will be sealed in the box. The evaluator will not know about the allocation of two groups of rose essential oil and placebo. Blinding: According to the type of intervention, only the primary and secondary outcome assessor is unaware of the type of intervention, and also the data is provided to the statistical expert for statistical analysis in a blind and randomized code.
