The random characteristic method with quadratic blocks includes assignments of the intervention group A and to the observation group B. Six conditions of AABB، BBAA، ABAB، BABA، ABBA، BAAB, will be written separately and then will be thrown inside the container. One piece of paper will be randomly removed from the container, followed by writing down the condition. Then, the paper will be taken back into the container. Driven by the sample size, which is 70 patients, this operation will be repeated 15 times. Each time, the condition will be written in order. Each letter is allocated to a number from one to seventy. Each letter is placed in a matte envelope and numbers 1 to 70 are written on the envelope.
