      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Block randomization in the form of 4th blocks in the form of aabb without to consider time or place or sex, Blinding description: Primary questionnaire and NCV of patients done by one of the plan partner that had no information about discription of patients on two groups then block randomization done by one of the anchors of the plan that have no information about the questionnaire and result of ncv.
Then patient will evaluate by the plan partner that done primary ncv and questionnaire( plan partner have no information about interventional group)
Interventional group defined by code 1 &amp; 2 and estatistic analyzer had no information about interventional group too.
So  estatistic analyzer and Researcher evaluator have become blindness.</study_design>
