Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
Randomization method: Randomization is simple and each participant is randomly assigned the main intervention treatment or the control group treatment. Randomization unit: individual. Randomization tool: statistical software and sealed envelope. A code is assigned to each sealed envelope by the software, and one of these codes is randomly assigned to each participant by the software, and the corresponding envelope containing the medicine is delivered to the patient. The person who registers the codes in the software is different from the person who delivers the envelopes.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Triple blinded
Blinding description
The patient who entered the study with informed consent does not know the type of treatment. The person who saves the assigned codes and inserts them on the envelopes has no connection with the patients. The researcher and the clinical caregiver are not aware of the contents of the envelopes. The outcome evaluator will be informed only if a serious side effect, after which the patient is excluded from the study. The data analyst and the data safety and monitoring committee will not be informed about the identity of the participants.
