Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, Simple randomization method is used for random allocation (hiding allocation). In this way, 80 cards matched in appearance are prepared and 40 of them have the number or code 1 that specifies the group "Intervention based on essence of Salvia Officinalis " and on 40 others of them the number or code 2 which specifies the group "Intervention based on almond oil " is written. Then, each eligible person for inclusion in the study randomly takes one of these cards with the codes written on it. In this way, the random allocation of patients to each group is determined without letting the participants to know the nature of the numbers 1 or 2 in the type of intervention that will be assigned.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, to hide the allocation of aromas (essence of Salvia Officinalis) and placebo (Almond oil) Opaque envelopes sequentially numbered are used.Each envelope contains a glass of essence of Salvia Officinalis or placebo.Medications were placed on the envelope in the randomized allocation sequence by the person not involved in the study. Investigating individuals to study and delivering envelopes are done by the researcher himself from Nos. 1 to 80. In this study, blindness is not possible for the participant. Therefore, in this study, researcher and data analyzer blindness (lack of knowledge of the subject code) will be used, so the study will be double-blind.
