Randomization description
In order to avoid bias in the selection of patients, the sequencing and distribution of patients into groups A and B is done by Statistics. Then, the type of intervention or placebo of groups A and B is done by someone outside the team of evaluators and analysts. To randomize people in two groups, the method of 4 permutation blocks is used. Considering group A and group B, the randomization process will be as follows. Randomization was done with SAS version 9 software. Seed: 67563107250670 Block sizes: 4 Actual list length: 64 block identifier, block size, sequence within block, treatment • 1, 4, 1, Group B • 1, 4, 2, Group A • 1, 4, 3, Group B • 1, 4, 4, Group A • 2, 4, 1, Group A • 2, 4, 2, Group B • 2, 4, 3, Group B Considering that the current study is double-blind, and the drug and placebo are presented to the performers and patients in similar and non-transparent envelopes, interventional concealment or the fact that groups A and B are placebos means that the allocation is concealed. For this purpose, the choice of intervention or placebo group A and B is done after distributing the names of the patients and by a person who is not aware of the sequence.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
