    Simple randomization, in which each member of society has an equal and independent chance of being elected. The randomization procedure will use a randomized block with quadratic and binary blocks. Given the sample size of 28 people, 6 quadruple blocks and 2 binary blocks will be generated and numbered using the permutations method. Using the random number table, blocks will be placed together to form a sequence of patients assigned to treatment groups. Therefore, prior to selecting the participants, the type of treatment they receive will be unaware, and the random sequence generated during the study will be unpredictable.

    تصادفی سازی ساده كه در اين روش هريك از اعضاي جامعه داراي شانس مساوي و مستقل براي انتخاب شدن، هستند. برای اعمال تصادفی سازی از روش بلوکهای تصادفی با بلوکهای چهارتایی و دوتايي استفاده خواهد شد. با توجه به حجم نمونه 28 نفره، 6 بلوک چهارتایی و 2 بلوك دوتايي با استفاده از روش جايگشتها توليد و شماره گذاري خواهند شد. با استفاده از جدول اعداد تصادفي بلوكها در كنار يكديگر قرار گرفته و توالي تخصيص بيماران به گروه هاي درماني را تشكيل خواهند داد. لذا قبل از انتخاب شرکت کنندگان، از نوع درمانی که دریافت خواهد شد، بی اطلاع خواهند بود و همچنین توالی تصادفی تولید شده در طول مطالعه از پیش بینی مصون خواهد بود.
