Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
According to the sample size of 100 that has been determined, the randomization list is generated by a statistician in the form of random blocks in volume 4, taking into account 2 groups A and B (portulaca and placebo). Then, the Faculty of Pharmacy of the University of Tehran will do the packing according to the randomization list during the packing and will be assigned to the patients according to it. After performing the experiments and completing the study, a random list will be given to the researcher and the analysis will be performed. Until the end of the data analysis, the researcher, patient and analyst will not be informed of the type of drug and placebo and this issue will remain confidential. In case of deviation from the protocol, the analysis method will be used for treatment.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
Given that this study is a double-blind study, it means that the researcher, patient and analyst are not aware of the type of pill used (portulaca oleracea supplement or placebo). To do this, the relevant capsules are packed in similar packages with the same information and instructions and are coded as A and B by someone other than the interferer so that the interferer is not informed of the type of capsule received by each. The group is viewed.
